Review comment:
       > Include/exclude are in the python script. Does jar files only. The jar 
files are subsequently passed to the wrapped perl script... which then does 
unzip... and fails with hbase-shaded-testing-util.
   
   I meant exclude of unpacked archive content, not entire archives. And yes, 
that's what I feared, that the unpack happens in the perl script, "outside of 
our control."
   
   I'm thinking the reason to retain the shaded jar is to notice if we break 
shading entirely. i.e., a change that adds a new jar to the shaded package 
would show in the report as loads of new classes. Perhaps we have other 
mechanisms in place already for catching these kinds of errors?
   
   I like HBASE-25486.
