Created on 18 December 2024, 3 months ago

Problem/Motivation

Most of Drupal's APIs use the keyword "dependencies" to indicate other items of its type that are required and must be installed first.

In the default content system the keyword that provides this functionality is installed "depends".

Proposed resolution

Add "dependencies" as the keyword in default content for indicating the dependent content.
Deprecate and remove the old "depends" keyword.

Remaining tasks

Build the necessary changes.
