Comment (by sysrqb):
Let's see. This is the initial pass over Fenix dependencies. It doesn't
make any judgement about which features we should keep/disable/rip-out. It
does not look at how these features are used within Fenix and which
functionality within Fenix should be modified. These will come in later
comments.
Based on Fenix (commit `3c29cb9f72cae1b3c425477750f718f912ff9b45`)
includes:
(`git grep -n Deps\. | grep -o Deps\..*`, and then manually filter out
tests and duplicates, then resolving the aliases in
`buildSrc/src/main/java/Dependencies.kt`)
