I'm sure they'll appreciate help in reducing dependencies between modules. I am sure they would, but that doesn't excuse creating all those dependencies. Actually, they originally did make a specific effort to make message-mode independent from Gnus so that it can replace mail-mode. Maybe they wanted it to replace Mail mode, but they didn't ask me if I wanted to replace it. They should have talked with me first, and then I would have said, "Please extend Mail mode, and please talk with me about what you want to do."
