The prereq graph is, indeed, an improvement.

But object retrieval can be potentially as much as linear to the depth
of the prereq graph, right? 

Potentially but not, by far, in the common case.

Moreover, that depth is an arbitrary parameter which user's can
freely vary -- that's part of the point.

I don't think any of the benefits you listed
are worth the complication, and you can still do the reachability
analysis pretty easily. (And I think it takes the same number of
roundtrips when downloading from remote server?)

I don't agree that any complication is added.  I know that 
some complications are avoided with this approach.
