In ecosystems where the dep-graph contains pruned nodes, the dep-graph library functions like pkgPathsToRoot and countPathsToRoot can safely ignore those pruned nodes. This is because there should be a path to a non-pruned node, the effective path. Ignoring pruned paths has a number of advantages. Consuming applications are presented with less paths to traverse when operating over paths. When displaying dep-graph path information there is less noise as only the effective paths are shown.
