It is my experience that the claim, "things have lots of dependencies"
almost always comes from not having thought the thing through -- and
I've seen lots of it over the course of thirty years experience with
systems architecture.

To be honest, "thinking things through" properly is quite rare ;-(

Uh. Things really *do* have lots of dependencies. Have a look at the dep list for gnumeric, or Chromium with all the third-party stuff possible split out, or Firefox, or almost *anything* other than games (which for cross-compatibility reasons try to avoid depending on anything but SDL and OpenAL much of the time).
