There's also the option of implementing the constraint directly in the finder, which does have the necessary info (with the change to pass the previous spec to findspec).

Yeah, I thought of that. I just prefer the more explicit supports_reload(). That said...

I still think it makes more sense to leave this out for the moment - it's not at all clear we need the extra method, and adding it later would be a straightforward protocol update.

...I agree that makes the most sense for now. :)

BTW, thanks for pushing these issues. I think the API has gotten pretty solid. I just need to make sure the PEP covers the cases and conclusions we're discussing.
