Currently, this is not the case:
- There is no such thing as "the" dependency resolution. The dependencies are resolved once for compilation and once again for the test runtime. And there are good reasons that this is done separately. Therefore it is a bit pointless to talk about "the" dependency resolution.
- Also, the way the optionalDependencies switch is implemented, only affects the resolution of the dependencies of bundles in the current reactor. This is broken (see bug 367701 [1])
