Not a unison aficionado, but I believe this is an OK problem to have given that we already have to deal with a (weaker) variant of the same problem in every other PL: if your dependency has a bug, you/dependency vendors have to create a new version of that dependency and then change every single module that depends on it. The scale might be different, but the nature of this Really Hard Problem appears to be the same in both cases.

Also, it seems like a solution to the really nasty problem of changing transitive dependencies.
