It's a new rule we created specifically for this purpose :)

We'll start just with using in the build dir, and then see how difficult it is to apply to the rest of the build.

> 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.
