Hi Wayne

I am delighted that my projects have no RED but I think you are encouraging a false sense of security since your tool's 'used' is actually 'ever redistributed'.

In https://waynebeaton.wordpress.com/2011/09/09/is-a-cq-required/ 'used' is 'directly referenced'.

So I expect to see Guava in RED since I haven't bothered to raise a piggy-back CQ since versions change so often and I await the auto-re-piggy-back of approved CQs. Last time I looked it appeared that 90% of projects that have an old Guava piggy-back CQ had not re-piggy-backed.

In the specific case of Guava where dependencies are 12.0.0 to 19.0.0, does that require 7 piggy-back CQs?

Re-piggy-back:

IMHO if Orbit has CQs for version X and Y, and a project has a piggy-back CQ for X, then it has an auto-re-piggy-back for Y.
