    [ https://issues.oasis-open.org/browse/OSLCCORE-121?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=69168#comment-69168 ] 

David Honey commented on OSLCCORE-121:
--------------------------------------

If component skew is present, but different collaborating domain tools used different algorithms, one problem will be the resolution of version could be different between the tools. For example, a requirement resolved for one LC might be incompatible with a test case that validates that requirement. If we want to be less prescriptive, I think it worth stating that co-operating tools SHOULD use similar algorithms.

> In the current draft, a Config Mgmt server MUST provide a version resolution process using a first match in a depth-first search starting at the top of the configuration context, and MAY provide a way to find all matches.
> Neither of these two algorithms necessarily meets client needs. No implementations exist for the All Matches approach.
> The specification is overly precise, and its precision is not useful in this case.
