I am trying to give Amy an example of why to avoid dependencies, because
people like me don't look at

   Requires: emacs-27.1, map-2.1, persist-0.5, plz-0.6, taxy-0.10,
   taxy-magit-section-0.13, svg-lib-0.2.5, transient-0.3.7

and say it is only a few, if my limit is at 1-2 /transitive/
dependencies.  (In addition to that, you know that I have strong
opinions on Emacs package names and do not what to install a package
called "taxy", even though I know that this is probably just my
opinion).
