>> Of course in a Good team, needless dependencies would be weeded out in code reviews, and a Culture would evolve over time avoiding needless dependencies.

Heh. This reminded me of a different story, which I remember vaguely enough that I'll paraphrase from memory:

> "The Excel team will never go for it. Their motto is 'Find the dependencies... and eliminate them.'"

> This probably explained why the Excel team had its own C compiler.

Like a lot of things in a Good Team, dependency curation requires a tempo. This will be done, and putting it off doesn't get you out of doing it.
