A.3.1.MV:9 - Consequences

Variant repertoires show the reusable semantic differences and the evidence for each branch. Practitioners can select among stable admitted Methods and visible candidate branches without confusing package change with Method change.

The cost is more disciplined status and provenance work. Some attractive adaptations remain candidate lineages, and teams must keep descriptions, support editions, evidence, and selection uses linked without letting any one of them define identity.
