I adjusted my composer.json (v5.2.10) to reduce bloat (plugins and themes I don’t use). I was almost successful except for:

- mautic/plugin-social and
- mautic/plugin-tagmanager

Are those necessary by core? Or is it due to the fact I may have used them in earlier versions and thus there are dependencies left?
