[State] Suddenly removes standalone contracts packages and imports whole contracts package

[norkunas]

composer update api-platform/state:

Lock file operations: 1 install, 1 update, 6 removals
  - Removing symfony/cache-contracts (v3.6.0)
  - Removing symfony/deprecation-contracts (v3.6.0)

  - Removing symfony/http-client-contracts (v3.6.0)
  - Removing symfony/service-contracts (v3.6.0)
  - Removing symfony/translation-contracts (v3.6.0)
  - Upgrading api-platform/state (v4.1.12 => v4.1.15)
  - Locking symfony/contracts (v3.6.0)

What's the reason for this?

I'm confused indeed, I may have added contracts instead of specific sub components I'll check that.

Except TypeInfo we didn't change much I still need to investigate.

The dependency to symfony/contracts was added in https://github.com/api-platform/core/pull/7169

[soyuka]

actually all the removed components are just the replacements for their subtree split therefore we install just as much as previously. I'll keep this like that, if for some reason you want me to investigate more let me know.

[norkunas]

But what does it fix requiring whole contracts package? If Symfony in future will add more contracts, api-platform will implicitly depend on them without consuming them

Note that you get stuck at version 4.1.12 of api-platform/state when just running composer update.

You have to explicitly run composer update api-platform/state to get newer version. And then the contract subtree packages are replaced by the base package.
