Dependency managers like NPM don't differentiate between internal and external dependencies. I assumed that the Svelte devs were referring to this. Vue for example only has internal dependencies, but NPM shows them as any other: https://www.npmjs.com/package/vue?activeTab=dependencies

It's referring to all transitive dependencies - not just direct dependencies. More like this: https://npm.anvaka.com/#/view/2d/vue

Good point, didn't want to make it seem different! Just wanted to show that internal dependencies are also tracked as any other dependency.
