This is really a development aid. When working on, for example, aws-api, I need access to any of the available services. Today, I'll start clj with the services I care about in {{-Sdeps}}, but it would be nicer to point to a deps.edn that has all an {{:all-services}} alias in it. This is one specific example, but I think you can imagine more. And yes, I realize I could add {{:all-services}} to either of ~/.clojure/deps.edn
or the one in the project, but the convenience of composing across arbitrary files in addition to implicit files + {{-Sdeps}} would be, well, convenient.
Following on the aws-api example, users have asked for a means of requiring all services. We could satisfy that need with a tools.deps-formatted variant of https://github.com/cognitect-labs/aws-api/blob/master/latest-releases.edn.
