Paul Russell commented on HIVEMIND-173:
---------------------------------------

I suspect this dependency should be marked as 'optional' with the default 
scope, rather than as 'provided'. The provided scope is for dependencies such 
as the J2EE apis which are provided by the runtime environment, which isn't 
really the case here. Optional dependencies are exactly what they say on the 
tin: They don't exhibit tranisivity, but are included in a compile. Anyone who 
/wishes/ to use the optional dependency simple includes it in their own POM.
