That would only be the case, if you were to consider those other
dependencies as "dangerous" as cURL. But we already depend on them. So
if it's really the case that cURL is that much worse, that we consider
loading it as a module... then the combinatorics should not be a problem
either.
However, if the other deps are considered problematic as well, then the
ship has already sailed, and there is not point for a special case here
anymore.
Best,
Wolfgang
