I just found this thread after noticing the same dependency today and 
looking for a way to potentially remove this. I don't quite see a 
dependency on minitest in the 'standard library' (by which I assume you 
mean the Rails gem itself). 
 https://github.com/rails/rails/blob/master/rails.gemspec  Or is there 
another dependency I'm missing?

As far as I can tell we would need to not autoload test_case.rb and then 
wrap the 'require' call to give a more meaningful error.  It's not clear to 
me if we expect consumers of the gem to use the ActiveSupport::TestCase 
class, or is that purely for testing the library itself?  I don't see any 
explicit examples for it in the documentation, but I'm also not that 
familiar with MiniTest.
