dependencies marked "provided" are always included at runtime

For example, if you import "log4j:log4j" "1.2.17", you also get org.apache.openejb:javaee-api.

Afaik, that's expected and ok.
e.g. since in Ceylon Runtime env, nothing is provided, as it's in JEE

Well, one use case is deployment on JEE.

I know this is an oversimplification, but usually provided marks things that will cause problems if loaded in multiple classloaders, like logging and platform apis. So why not treat provided as optional until something more sophisticated can be designed?
