Can you elaborate on this? Many _try_ to get around this, e.g. Cargo's https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/reference/resolver.html#semv..., but it's not quite in P. Nix offloads dependency resolution to *2nix tools. Go's minimum version selection is just a tree walk, but it loses a fair amount of expressivity.
