Comment (by kcrisman):
> I may not have said this enough times: you add dependencies which I do
not consider dependencies, and you do this without asking first, without
caring in any way.
This is just part of the development process. It is very natural that
sometimes developers and reviewers will disagree on what is required for
review. This is orthogonal to caring - I'd say it even shows care,
because others might just say "needs work" and then not have a possible
approach.

That is also part of the open development process; certainly there are
plenty of times I've given up on either writing or reviewing because I
either didn't understand or couldn't satisfy others. I don't think that
anyone is saying you are required to work on any of the dependencies, or
indeed required to work on this ticket! Perhaps the person who suggests
the change is necessary can take the responsibility, or they may choose
not to. That's the point of a volunteer project. Perhaps another
reviewer would also have different standards or expectations, and they may
come along and decide that adding some of these dependencies was in error.
Anyway, it sounds like #18456 is the most important one, and I don't think
this or its dependency list is standing in the way, thankfully!
