Does this then make the whole transitive dependencies thing less useful 
than it at first seems?

I think what I most want to know is:
*What is the GOAL of transitive dependencies?*

If the goal is to /stop me having to know about or think about the 
dependencies in use/, it would seem that it doesn't work:
I still need to know about all the dependencies in use.
And I need to think about whether the versions of transitive 
dependencies being provided automatically are suitable, or whether I 
should override them.

So, what is the goal of transitive dependencies?
And are people finding that the implementation is helping them meet that 
goal?
