Why is this dependent on REST UI?

This module is listed in the dependencies and is used to load data.

I do not understand; I certainly applaud the use REST (core) to load data but REST UI is a UI module for managing REST endpoints so why have it as a dependency here?

Clearly, we are always seeking to minimise the number modules in play and it seems unnecessary to add this in?

Unless of course, I have missed something obvious here — I often do!

Thanks

You are right and this module is not a critical dependency. So we removed it from the dependencies.

A great, thank you @helena zajika - I was beginning to doubt myself!
