Mind how you pick your dependencies and how they fare over time. You might need to reevaluate and let go some of them.

Maybe you don't need to pull even more dependencies. Think of the operational costs and the complexity.

Very interesting study on dependencies. This is specific to the Maven ecosystem so too early to generalize the findings to other similar ecosystems. This indicates at least the difficulties of managing dependencies, especially the transitive ones. Also tries to define the "dependencies bloat" problem.
