Just had another thought regarding this. Allowing recursive outputs adds 
at least one extra check to every deletion/gc that has reverse 
dependencies, and disallowing them adds at least one to every successful 
build. Which happen more often, builds or deletions? Which would we 
rather have a shorter code path? IMO the answer to both is builds, but 
just throwing this out there for consideration either way.
