The initial idea of using char pointer was to save some memory since the dependency graph was kind of the one with the main database. Nowadays dependency graph should be separatable from the main database and being self-sustainable. Other issue which was caused by this pointer is the re-tagging of operations during relations update: it is possible to have node which as tagged for update but had the owner of the name removed (i.e. driver or bone was removed).
