When a package body that contains the body of generic units get changed, all other packages that instantiate the generics must be recompiled as well. This is contrary to the claim that generics save compilation time as some literature states... That's all... I just wanted to vent some frustration... and besides the compiler is recompiling everything right now just because I did the above...
