+/// The goal of the allowlist is to make it more difficult to accidentally add new dependencies
+/// to the core SDK packages that users depend on. Any dependencies added to this set can have a
+/// large impact on the allowed version solving of a given flutter application because of how
+/// the SDK pins to an exact version.
