**[Ilya Kasnacheev](https://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/ViewProfile.jspa?name=ilyak)** commented I think this is a bad call - there are clear use cases for transitive dependencies. The use case as follows: you want a fat JAR and fat Javadoc for your module, which hierarchically depends on many of your modules. Currently, it is possible with includeTransitiveDependencySources and `dependencySourceInclude=com.pany:*` - the ones which you actually control, and hence they would not drop dependencies on random. The currently advised approach of explicitly listing all dependencies encourages having a small number of non-hierarchial, blobby dependencies, which is an antipattert in itself. So I suggest that maybe this parameter may be un-deprecated. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
