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?
