Kendo-angular: why are additional type libraries being installed?

[ganySA]

When using @progress/kendo-angular-dateinputs - the installation installs numerous additional type libraries which i am trying to understand. I only picked this up because they cause compilation errors with Angular 7.0 but with additional inspection, why are they there in the first place?

        "@types/core-js": "^2.5.0",
        "@types/es6-shim": "^0.31.36",
        "@types/fancybox": "^2.1.32",
        "@types/highcharts": "^5.0.21",
        "@types/jasmine": "^2.8.6",
        "@types/jquery": "^2.0.42",
        "@types/jqueryui": "^1.12.2",
        "@types/kendo-ui": "^2018.1.2",
        "@types/microsoft-ajax": "0.0.33",

What is the purpose of these libraries. Specifically the Jquery libraries? highcharts? fancybox? MS ajax??

Thanks

Seems like an oversight on our end, those should be devDependencies only. Fix is on the way.

Edit: Most of them are bogus and not used at all - the package needs only core-js and jasmine types.
