    <thetext>It would be useful if we were able to allow a locked task to &quot;freewheel&quot; i.e. the locked task behaves as if it were unlocked, but any dependent tasks that aren&apos;t in that mode see the task as having the locked signature value. You could use this for example if you wanted to modify the kernel or glibc with &quot;devtool modify&quot; without having anything else rebuild in response to any of the changes.</thetext>

    <thetext>This could be an option to bblock,

Instead of &quot;lock glibc&quot;, we&apos;d want a &quot;lock everything that depends on glibc&quot; option.</thetext>
