  Because it's GNU and that it's a heavy dependency to begin with.

So it's more of a political decision then a technical one?

I'd *strongly* argue against new dependencies unless they buy us 
something major.

We've been good at cutting them down, including any required libraries 
internally. We shouldn't add new ones.

So we'd have to include GNU getopt sources with the git tree, at which 
point any advantage would be gone. Might as well include a private and 
simpler version of our own.
