Re[2]: Dependencies are not automatically activated with `set enable`; is that correct?

  Yes, the syntax has changed with s6-frontend-0.2.0.0.

  Now, instead of "-I fail|warn|pull", there are two boolean options:

-I (don't fail - default) | -i (fail),
-P (don't pull - default) | -p (pull)

  So by default, "s6 set enable" will warn, but not pull dependencies.
  "s6 set enable -p", however, will pull dependencies.
