Hi Paul, What makes you say that that is “heavyweight”? For what it’s worth, many of those modules used to just be directories inside the pgx library. Splitting them out has been good for the ecosystem. In general, I’d encourage you not to worry about a small handful of transitive dependencies, especially if they are standard “x” libraries and things from the library author as is the case here.
