Comment (by peterwilsoncc):

 For a new feature, I don't think requiring developers add code to declare
 the dependency is overly helpful. The onus should be on WordPress to
 handle these things rather than plugin developers.

 Given I raised this issue on the plugin repo two years ago, it's a little
 frustrating to be dealing with it in a rush during the beta period.
