Three reasons...

1) Most of the existing project definitions were created before the runtime
support was added.

2) In most cases, the person creating these definitions (me) doesn't have a
deep understanding of all of the interrelationships, and simply added
dependencies when necessary to correct a build failure.

3) There is a tendency of people to clone and adapt working samples instead
of RTFM.
