Description

Description

Not an error but a suggestion.

we often run into a situation where I need the same dependencies in a number of projects (services in a cluster that uses pretty much the same stack) being able to references an entire group in paket.refences would be solid. It would ensure that when we add or change dependencies that are related to all the services, we'd only need to do this once.
