Implied readability + layers

[Ali Ebrahimi]

Hi,
So with current implementation of Implied readability w.r.t. layers and
unexpected consequences of its remove or addition, I strongly propose to
drop it from current design.

 How about adding requires public to M2 and can you say how many modules
may fail.

I don't understand this strict rule that all consumers of M2 and consumers
of consumers of M2 should lock to same version of com.bar.
