    plans to start removing things again, but officially, we're leaving our

3.  Guava has one dependency that is needed for linkage at runtime:
    `com.google.guava:failureaccess:1.0.3`. It also has
    [some annotation-only dependencies][guava-deps], which we discuss in more
    detail at that link.
