I'm referencing a WiX extension in a WiX library project. This WiX library project is itself referenced by my main WiX MSI project. Why does the main project have to also reference the WiX extension, even though it doesn't directly need it?

I'd like to keep my wixlib's as self-contained as possible, so that other projects that use them don't need to know about their inner workings.

I'm using latest stable release of WiX (3.0.x).
