After reading up on tycho bug https://bugs.eclipse.org/bugs/show_bug.cgi?id=378502 ,
tycho does introduce a hard precedence for artifacts currently being built over artifacts in the target platform, so it's not that bad at least for full builds.

I think the cycles we are seeing are outside of the platform build, e.g. ECF uses platform and platform uses ECF. Intra-platform cycles would fail the build because of the precedence I mentioned above.
