    Yes, let's call the shaded B artifact B'. Are you saying that the published 
artifact of A shades B and C? yes, then it contains B' and C' and they are 
inseparable. It isn't usual to publish a shaded artifact like that unless it is 
an assembly / uber jar, which is not what projects depend on when consuming via 
Maven. 
    
    A would still show a dependency on B and C in the POM, at least, if it were 
shaded at assembly time using something like the shade plugin.
    
    You are saying that A shades B and C but then declares C as a direct, 
separate dependency? yes, then it shows a direct dependency on C, though I 
claim it already had a transitive dependency on C in Maven. We may still be 
talking about different things when it comes to what is published.
    
    But, what is A here, `tachyon-client`? I'm not sure it's relevant to what I 
am getting at. If C includes `commons-beanutils`, why exclude it? and, why does 
C include `hadoop-core` for example? Again, if I understand what's what here.
