One advantage to excluding all transitive deps is that you don't need to 
do any filtering.  When I was maintaining the exclusions, being able to 
immediately see transitive deps at a glance was pretty helpful.

Things are quite a lot more complicated now, granted.

The policy I used to follow was that jboss-as submodules could have 
dependencies, and that's it.  It meant a lot of exclusions but like I 
said it made the list very easy to take in at a glance.
