Can we reduce and tailor number of dependencies during installation and usage to reduce bloatware?

I was surprised to see when I want to use a minimal portion of semantic-router, for instance just openai with HybridRouteLayer. Why do I still need to install packages like cohere and mistralai. This adds a lot of bloatware to our production applications and there is no way I can remove them if I want to use semantic-router.

Why don't we restructure the project such that it can be used without depending on absolutely everything? For instance see here:
https://github.com/aurelio-labs/semantic-router/blob/main/semantic_router/encoders/__init__.py#L7

It even says that these two libraries, and several others, are supposed to be optional, but the code does not work when we try to use semantic-router when not installing these:
https://github.com/aurelio-labs/semantic-router/blob/main/pyproject.toml#L15

We do this in Vanna. See here for inspiration:
https://github.com/vanna-ai/vanna/blob/main/pyproject.toml

Oh, this seems to no longer be an issue in the latest release (>=0.0.72).

Simply upgrading the package, allowed me to use a minimalistic version of the package without a lot of bloatware :]
