valid-wanted is a confusing option name

[gregwebs]

Its behavior also isn't documented in the stack.yaml wiki page.

I think it would be better to name the option after the difference it makes in stack's behavior

Any suggestions?

Oh, I think I've got it. The flag should just be dependency. If set to true, it behaves just like an extra-dep.

[gregwebs]

yes, dependency (or even extra-dep) would be much better

OK, change made, as well as updating the stack.yaml Wiki page:

Thanks!

Thanks for pointing out how bad the name was, it was one of those things that just happened, and we have to fix those problems early :)
