It is useful for things to list their dependencies and we did have an effort to actually list things out so we know ASSUME_PROVIDED is correct. This means we can spot areas we might be able to trim back dependencies (amongst other reasons). With the introduction of HOSTTOOLS, its perhaps less needed than it was but in principle it is still useful to know which things need a given item, particularly where its more unusual. I'd still be interested in trying to cut back HOSTTOOLS a bit more. The 1.1 recipe was pretty heavily cut back, probably too much so based on some of the patches we've been getting...
