It will also tie up things that wait on dependencies, i.e. if you build N 
apps that want qt, they'll all wait for the qt build. And all the KDExxxx
packages waiting for kdebase.

And I guess there are many more nightmares involved in this, given the 
complexity of the dependency tree[1].

See: KISS.
