----------
-
-Version 6 uses specs where compilers are modeled as real dependencies, and not as a node attribute.
-It doesn't change the top-level lockfile format.
-
-As part of Spack v1.0, compilers stopped being a node attribute, and became a build-only dependency. Packages may
-declare a dependency on the c, cxx, or fortran languages, which are now treated as virtuals, and compilers would
-be providers for one or more of those languages. Compilers can also inject runtime dependency, on the node being
-compiled. The compiler-wrapper is explicitly represented as a node in the DAG, and enters the hash.
