Abstract
Various technologies described herein pertain to controlling reconfiguration of a dependency graph for coordinating reconfiguration of a computing device. An operation can be performed at the computing device to detect whether an error exists in the dependency graph for a desired configuration state. The dependency graph for the desired configuration state specifies interdependencies between configurations of a set of features. An error can be detected to exist in the dependency graph when the desired configuration state differs from an actual configuration state of the computing device that results from use of the dependency graph to coordinate configuring the set of features. Feedback concerning success or failure of the dependency graph on the computing device can be sent from the computing device to a configuration source. The dependency graph can be modified (by the computing device and/or the configuration source) based on whether an error is detected in the dependency graph.
