Now that "if", "then", and "else" are keywords, it is not clear whether
there is any benefit in keeping dependencies. It is frequently
misunderstood and seems to be rarely used. Depending on feedback
with "if", "then", and "else", this keyword may well be removed in a
future draft.
there is any benefit in keeping the schema form of "dependencies".
It is frequently misunderstood, and having a form that takes a subschema
as well as a form that takes a primitive value is particularly
confusing. And it seems to be rarely used. Depending on feedback
with "if", "then", and "else", the schema form of this keyword may
well be removed in a future draft. Current thought is that the string
form (giving property names in an array) is a useful shortcut.
