I don't care about all the transitive deps maven is downloading and caching in my local repository and I don't expect any maven user to control the content of its local repository (mine is more than 2 Go and i've no clue what's inside besides what i directly use). I'm talking about maven as a build tool to generate *something*. When your goal is to generate a web application, i expect the developer to look at what's inside. If your goal is to generate a zip file with some jars inside, I also expect the developer to make sure the zip contains what it needs and not gigabytes of unused jars.
