- [ ] Early feedback appreciated before vote is called!
- [ ] Cheng will re-review later this week, early next week
- [X] WV: conditional dependencies

- [ ] FF: Currently multi-ouputs are used for "optional dependencies and groups". We'll probably need some sort of CEP to guide the transition of this approach forward?
