The improvement is (possibly) that not every line of every dependency in the graph actually gets compiled into my artifact. What I want is a tool which trims down my dependencies to just those lines of code which actually end up in my binary. That way I don't actually have to care about (again possibly) most of those bug reports, because they might not have anything to do with the pieces of each dependency I actually depend on.
Basically I want something which eliminates all the dead code in my dependency graph, and makes me review the diff in the undead code every time the dependency graph changes, my code changes, or both. Otherwise I'm very unlikely to review my deps and their usage. If it doesn't appear as an actual diff in code review it's not getting reviewed, probably.
