However not a new problem. And many solutions have been tried.

At a minimum it requires caches, dependency trees, and update times. But in my experience they always seem to fail on larger projects which is exactly where the value comes from.

The correct solution however lies in designing the application in the first place such that dependencies are not propagated throughout. That however is not a technological solution.
