= Justifications
= Questions
There is a sentence in the reference that says "tools.deps.alpha is designed to support an extensible set of procurers that can expand over time". Is this something Clojure programmers expect to use & if so is there documentation or a tutorial on how to extend tools.deps.alpha with a new procurer that I can link? If it isn't a user-facing feature I'd like to prune that line.
What was "using the first attribute qualifier that's found (ignoring the reserved qualifier "deps") meant to be conveying & is it important? I scanned the source code and didn't see why a :deps key would be reserved in a coordinate.

The
Procurers
section talks about how to configure 3rd party software like S3 & Maven. If there isn't any push-back I'd like to move this into the Deps & cli guide, which would slim down the Procurer section. Then move the entire thing up near the top of the page near to where deps.edn is explained.
