Hum... well, the dependencies normally specify the extent of the AOT, in the sense that the AOT follows your code `require chain`. Which is why say :dev dependencies or test dependencies normally wouldn't be included in your AOT. That said, Clojure is required to AOT, and so it would be on the classpath and it will be an implicit require of any namespace, so it will get AOTed no matter what. I think that reasoning makes sense.
Still, a Clojure library shouldn't include a dependency on Clojure in my opinion, as Clojure will always be provided by the container in those cases, unless it is meant to be consumed from Java. The best is to use the type of dependency that's like: use the parent specified one, unless there is none, then use this one. Can't quite remember all the different dm, but I believe lein, maven, etc. all have something like this.
