> Transitive dependencies are cool, however, the limitations are very difficult to work around.
>   * specification dependencies
>   * jarjar dependencies (spring.jar includes all spring-xxx.jar, so no need to include them)
>   * remove warning on relocations for transitive dependencies (it's always difficult to tell users: that's not an error, and we can not do anything)
>   * poms on ibiblio are all in m2 and never change
>   * exclusions for transitive deps can be overriden if manually included
> One cool feature would be to allow disabling transitive dependencies in the following ways:
>   * disable all transitive deps
>   * enable transitive dependencies only for modules of the same project
>   * enable transitive deps for specific groupIds
>   * disable transitive deps for specific groupIds
>   * have a tag/attribute to exclude all transitive deps for one dependency (instead of having list all exclusions)
