I just wanted to quote [the spec](https://docs.osgi.org/specification/osgi.core/8.0.0/framework.module.html#i3127019) might be a good first source for derive some normative things: > Classes can depend on classes in other packages. For example, when they extend classes from another package, or these other classes appear in method signatures. **It can therefore be said that a package uses other packages**. These inter-package dependencies are modeled with the **uses directive on the Export-Package header**. The most important part is this one here > Class space consistency can only be ensured if a bundle has only one exporter for each package. That means that omitting them as "they are hard to read" is really worst thing one can do as it opens the bundle to all kind of class space inconsistencies (and these are **really hard to debug**). A Manifest is not meant to be read by users, so one better use some tools if really interested in the results. -- This is an automated message from the Apache Git Service.
