Feedback I'm using Timeline in my game, but not Unity's particle system; can it be an optional dependency?

I'm making a game styled after mid-80's arcade games. The game's style adheres to (an approximation of) hardware constraints of the time, which means no particles. However, there are scripted sequences that I'm using Timeline for. It's been quite practical so far.

Since I'm not using the particle system, I'd like to exclude it from my project entirely. I can't do that because the Particle System module is a dependency of the Timeline package; is it possible this dependency could be made optional in some form, either as a separate package or one that's conditionally enabled?

 

Thank you, I appreciate it.
