Christoph Henrici commented on MASSEMBLY-529:
---------------------------------------------
" I would even go as far as suggesting than optional dependencies should not
get pulled in per default."
100% agreed. From my point of view it yields the plugin even useless...
optional means as i understand: a dependency which should NOT be included
transitively by default, but only when explicitly included as Dependency.
> Provide a way to exclude optional dependencies of a module from the assembly
