Rationale
It is generally best practice to explicitly declare dependencies that are used in your code rather than relying on transitive dependencies to supply them for you if for no other reason than it documents what is in use. Though in reality the risk of these transitive dependencies disappearing is low and would usually be easily noticed, the declaration of proper api dependencies will assure that our published pom files are accurate and others will not have to separately declare some dependencies that we rely on when using our jar files.
