Why would you need to remember dep tree if brew will simply fail to uninstall an app if something else depends on it?

The other solution to this and the other is shell aliasing, make "package manager rm" uninstall regardless of the package manager, and you don't need to remember

I often end up scripting something with the dependency tree as opposed to recursively trying to uninstall dependencies that I don't recognize until I get to something top-level that I recognize.
