Please clarify how you produced a list of packages which depend *both* 
unversioned and *also* transitively versioned on uglifyjs.

...or clarify what other list you produced and why you find such other 
list relevant here.

Please elaborate why - either based on my explanation of the problem 
quoted above, or elaborate on which _different_ theory you have of what 
is the underlying problem you try to solve.
