David Lloyd commented on AS7-6497:
----------------------------------

I never knew about that enforcer rule.  The entire AS codebase should be using it (i.e. it should be in the root POM) in my opinion.

> There are a lot of transitive dependencies that are brought in.  The core-model-test module brings in many transitive dependencies, does this need to be a dependency in the build module?  The general rule is that the build module should not include any transitive dependencies, however, there might be one or two exceptions.
> Once the dependencies are cleaned up, the enforcer rule "ban-transitive-dependencies" should be configured in the build module to enforce that upgrades and new dependencies don't add unexpected transitive deps to the build.
