I'm sorry, I searched on the swat bugs about it but it seems I completely missed the old bug #348031 [1]. > If we eliminated the dependencies, this would in my mind decrease > the quality of the package compared to the previous version, and > that should not be the penalty that users should have to bear in > exchange for our resource-saving packaging. On the contrary, IMHO downgrading the dependency would increase the quality of the package, because users will have more choices. Anyway, I'm fine with whichever choice you'll do (which I guess it'll be keep the situation as it), but I'll tag the bug as wontfix instead of closing it.
