@sagebind described very nicely the benefits of `execute()`; I really think it would be a shame to move away from that approach. Has there been any discussion happening elsewhere about...

Note that this is supported by Node timers as well as in UV. Unreferencing watchers/timers is not some strange thing invented by Amp. Rather, it's unusual that it's not supported...

@trowski That's how I'd see it, yes. Regarding packages which require `event-loop-implementation`; I would suggest that those dependencies are _only_ necessary in packages which call `Loop::execute()` or `Driver::run()`. Personally, I...

If we expect libs to _always_ require both `event-loop-api` _and_ `event-loop-implementation`, should we just amalgamate them? Perhaps we can just use `event-loop-implementation` instead and loop implementors can use the current...

Anyway, I don't think the conflict clause is that important; the important question to me is whether we want to force people to always require two packages instead of one...

Interesting. So we'd have something like this? ``` some-loop-impl requires event-loop-driver, provides event-loop-driver-implementation event-loop requires event-loop-driver, event-loop-driver-implementation third-party-thing requires event-loop ``` Is that what you mean? Seems good to me!
