Makes me wonder why the version 1.0.2 (Vaadin8) has polymer and webcomponen

Makes me wonder why the version 1.0.2 (Vaadin8) has polymer and webcomponents dependencies. Do we need to load approx 20MB jar files to run this add-on? While probably irrelevant for standard web application in the embedded system we are trying to save any byte to get our applications running on systems with restricted resources.

These are dependencies that are needed during the addon building. You can remove them via maven.
