Comment:

 From what I've seen in the Drupal space, dependencies help encourage devs
 to collaborate on common APIs that they can all use for their own modules.
 For example, a CDN caching API plugin -- One author can build an S3 plugin
 on top of it, another dev could build a MaxCDN plugin, or Rackspace Cloud,
 or whatever. Or a base Twitter API module could be available to build
 upon. Can you image how much repeated code/effort has gone into the
 bajillion Twitter plugins currently in the directory?
