The sophistication of Cabal gulls folks into thinking it has all of the facilities of a package manager rather than the build-manager is is intended to be.

The Hub system is likely to exacerbate these expectations.

It ought to be feasible to provide those missing facilities in the Hub without too much difficulty, with some simple graph analysis and handing off the heavy lifting to Cabal and ghc-pkg.
