Hi Bill,
IMHO, golang-github-spf13-cobra-dev can be avoid depending
golang-github-spf13-viper-dev
In package github.com/spf13/cobra, it only has github.com/spf13/pflag imported.
github.com/spf13/cobra/cobra can be removed from golang-github-spf13-cobra-dev,
it's only used for building `cobra` binary. I don't think other
packages will import it.
Regards,
Shengjing Zhu
