+    <!-- We redeclare the j2objc-annotations dependency from `guava`: Our Gradle
+         Module Metadata hides the dependency declared in `guava` from runtime
+         configurations downstream, and GWT uses the runtime configuration for
+         its builds. Thus, GWT doesn't get j2objc-annotations transitively, in
+         contrast to the other deps of `guava`, which it does get transitively.
+         (Arguably we should redeclare *all* the `guava` deps here.) -->
