Hi

Several months ago, I had reported that the desktop artifact brings in a dependency on material 2. However it seems to still not have been fixed. Other libraries which depend on it get that material 2 dependency as well, even if not used. which is then carried down into my own projects which use only material 3

Here is the specific line where it happens:
<https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform-core/blob/db2825ee67d649cb9d28aa0bf166e863db66ae0e/compose/desktop/desktop/build.gradle#L50>

The only thing the desktop artifact has is just deprecated stuff. Maybe it could just be deleted entirely? It would be great if this could be resolved, my current work-around has been specifying an exclusion rule in gradle
`exclude(group = "org.jetbrains.compose.material", module = "material")`

This is in our plans. The blocker here is to decide an alternative for `desktop.currentOs` that resolves binaries. Vote for <https://github.com/JetBrains/compose-multiplatform/issues/497>

> Other libraries which depend on it
Libraries shouldn't add a dependency on `desktop`, only end applications should do that.
