Possibly commons-io used to be more legitimately optional, but since a
lot of things like CountingOutputStream have now moved into commons-io
it really isn't. Is there anywhere explicit documentation of what
dependencies commons-compress uses?

It is really helpful for clients when libraries make a strong effort
to avoid unnecessary dependencies. I can sort of see that a library
like compress might depend on lang3 and io, but it would be better if
it didn't.
