Too many dependencies in package.json

Hi, when creating a new ember app, you’ll end up with this in package.json

"broccoli-asset-rev": "^2.4.5",  
"ember-ajax": "^3.0.0", 
"ember-cli": "~2.18.2",  
"ember-cli-app-version": "^3.0.0", 
"ember-cli-babel": "^6.6.0",  
"ember-cli-dependency-checker": "^2.0.0",
"ember-cli-eslint": "^4.2.1",
"ember-cli-htmlbars": "^2.0.1",
"ember-cli-htmlbars-inline-precompile": "^1.0.0",
"ember-cli-inject-live-reload": "^1.4.1",
"ember-cli-qunit": "^4.1.1",
"ember-cli-shims": "^1.2.0",
"ember-cli-sri": "^2.1.0",
"ember-cli-uglify": "^2.0.0",
"ember-data": "~2.18.0",
"ember-export-application-global": "^2.0.0",
"ember-load-initializers": "^1.0.0",
"ember-resolver": "^4.0.0",
"ember-source": "~2.18.0",
"ember-welcome-page": "^3.0.0",
"eslint-plugin-ember": "^5.0.0",
"loader.js": "^4.2.3"

I was wondering why do I need to specify all those dependencies in my project when all I basically care about is just a small subset

"ember-cli": "~2.18.2",
"ember-data": "~2.18.0",
"ember-source": "~2.18.0",

the rest is basically depending on what version of Ember I use so it could be specified somewhere else. It would be great to have something similar to create-react-app so I can upgrade just one package and get all the awesomeness included.
