Not true: the set:versions dependency resolution is fully
wired and tested by installing ALT linux into a chroot.

The generation of set:versions has not been done solely
because of lack of interest from ALT, ROSA, Alexey Tourbin
(the original implementer) and others.

I personally think that the ALT set:versions should be used by
distros based on RPM.

OTOH, the addition of a new dependency type (and resolution)
like set:versions takes some careful planning by distrosx.

Please supply the pointer to the original paper (in Cyrillic, I've
managed to read the details with GOOG translate, perhaps
others can read the Russian).
