Hello I am trimming an existing project and I saw that it depends on both poi and poi-ooxml. But, poi-ooxml has a dependency on poi itself. I was also looking online and found this answer on SO https://stackoverflow.com/a/60350527/5863472 which seems to suggest that depending on poi is explicitly needed for backwards compatibility. Is that true? Can't I just depend on poi-ooxml and use poi only features too since it would be in the classpath anyway? Regards Sayak
