At some point it was added as a dependency, and its still there,
perhaps it was from a very old sorcery bug, but certainly not one
currently.

*shrug* If you update sorcery and recast it all that stale depends data
will go away.

Im sorry your personal life is busy. Mine is just as busy.
Im sorry you dont trust sorcery either, however a lot has changed since
apparently the last time you did an update, casting more than one
spell at once will simply prompt you for all the questions it doesnt
know the answer to, then it'll go and compile them, this is the part
where you dont need to pay attention and can go do something else.
And im sorry that two years after we switched to simpleinit you're still
having problems.

sorcery -> options -> sorcery branch -> select test -> exit
sorcery update

or sync //sgl/sorcery/test/... and run the install script.
