 		    the parsers.  In this way, we can automatically pull in

 		    .src.rpm files.
+	[ ] BUG: If we only run an update_data after a load of an .oe,
+	    but not for a .oeclass, if multiple .oeclasses define, say, for
+	    example DEPENDS_prepend, one overrides the other, and we lose
+	    some of the deps.  If we update_data after each .oeclass load,
+	    then DEPENDS_prepend affects DEPENDS immediately, but subsequently,
+	    it applies against a DEPENDS variable which doesnt yet exist,
+	    because the oeclass (in the case of base/INHERIT) is loaded prior
+	    to defining DEPENDS in the .oe.  The only solution I see is to
+	    pick up _append/_prepend/_delete during the .oe feeder, and
+	    append each of them to a list of tasks to do during the
+	    update_data run.  I.e. base sets DEPENDS_prepend to content/patcher,
+	    then content/patcher ends up in the 'to prepend' list, and is then
+	    prepended when update_data runs after the completion of the .oe
+	    parse.
