IIUC you're not talking about disabling the entire dependency analysis
but instead just turning off the magic guessing of implicit dependencies
based on observed order.  Correct?

Before we bikeshed the name and form of the setting, can you post a patch
that just removes the logic outright so we can see exactly what you mean?

Thanks,
