The problem with this is that's it's hard for me to know what's useful and
what's not. It's only the library creator that could really tell that.

I guess the problem is that it depends on the part of the API you're using
from the dep. Many of the transitive deps being pulled are used by a few
classes of the dep and you may not be using those classes yourself. Ideally
that would mean splitting the API into several jar:

framework.jar
framework-hibernate.jar
framework-rcs.jar
etc.

But that's a major change and it would be hard to required projects to do
that across the board.
