Description

Description of the tech debt to be addressed, include links and screenshots

https://github.com/saltstack/salt/blob/master/DEPENDENCIES.md is outdated. dependencies listed may no longer be correct and in some cases list security issues. such as networkx. which is dependency of a dependency of a dependency and also is optional. but this list makes it sound like it is required to operate and only a version with a cve is listed.

Research direction

Start with DEPENDENCIES.md in the Salt repository and compare its entries with the dependency definitions used by the current master branch. Check whether listed packages are direct, optional, or transitive dependencies and whether the recorded versions remain accurate. Done means the document reflects current dependencies and does not present optional or vulnerable transitive packages as required.
