Symfony browser-kit in require dependencies

[simPod]

In Client.php there's browser kit used use Symfony\Component\BrowserKit

However, it is not explicitely required by this lib and I think it should be. I think it's a sub dependency and therefore shouldn't be necessary to require it as direct dependency in my project.

What are your thoughts?

Please not that all the work happen on symfony/symfony, please use this repositories for your future PRs.
About your question, many people do use the HttpKernel component without ever using the Client class.
This is why BrowserKit is an optional dependency: you need it only if you use this class.
This is how we manage dependencies on all components: only those mandatory are listed in "require".

Shouldn't that be separated into multiple components then? Personally, I think the library should be fully working unit. Without this it is not as it contains unclear defect hidden in not requiring required dependency for its part.

That would make maintenance harder for the community, we don't have infinite resources so we must make pragmatic compromises.
