V4 clearly depends in some form or another on the earlier version. This on its face also is not necessarily bad. At the end of the day here, we’re talking about an absolutely tiny amount of data. I hear that you’re new. I hope I’m successful in setting expectations that even 10s of small transitive dependencies does not indicate a problem and certainly is not “bloated beyond repair”. What resources are you concerned with? Was the compile time slow? Is the number of files upsetting? My best guess is absolutely not! Code depending on other code which is modularity designed to fit together is a very good thing. Just trust it for now and raise concerns in the context of problems backed by data. When you start to have a bad time for real rather than perceived reasons, come back and let us know.
