Purpose

Avoid problems for users which could occur due to dependency being optional

Thanks! As discussed previously, this does seem to be the right thing to do. As mentioned in that discussion, we might later decide to have Gson-private versions of the annotations we use (@Keep and @InlineMe), since their analysers only look at the simple name of the annotation. But the overhead of an annotation definition is pretty small so it's probably not worth doing that.
