Hi,
I had a short chat with Helmut about this and it is not obvious to us
why this is would be the correct behaviour.
* Can you clarify why this should be done?
* Can you clarify why the version constraint matters for adding :any?
* A quick look at the patch suggests that the behaviour is
"unconditional" and will also be added to packages containing XS
modules etc.
- However, your text above suggest this was unintended.
Thanks,
~Niels
