I've tried to do this by hand. It yields a variety of downstream
problems. For example, OSGi tools take optional dependences as
optional OSGi dependences, not as removed dependencies.

So I think we need another approach to this dilemma; shade, if nothing
else, is a critical enabling technology, and having the downstream
builds in the reactor work with the output is essential.
