This stutters a bit now, with the repetition of constraint. Let's modify the first sentence to read:
Constraints are rules for how directly imported projects may be incorporated into the depgraph.

As long as we're in here changing things, let's also change [[overrides]] to the singular, [[override]] (but keep the property name plural, rawManifest.Overrides).

OK, this is looking good - thank you! I'm going to wait on merging until we get the other breaking changes sorted, then do them as a batch. |

Hello, what's the status of this? I can fix the conflict and willing to take it forward on getting merge. |
