Is the chef-provisioning cookbook a dependency?

[dpkp]

metadata.rb lists the chef-provisioning cookbook as a dependency. But it seems like the only relation to chef-provisioning is that it is a recommended way to use consul-cookbook (via cluster.rb). Indeed the Usage docs for consul:

gem install chef-provisioning chef-provisioning-fog
export CHEF_DRIVER=fog:AWS
chef-client -z cluster.rb

does not use the chef-provisioning cookbook -- it uses a simple gem install. So it seems odd to make installing the chef-provisioning cookbook a requirement for using consul-cookbook.

If suggests is broken, perhaps there is an alternative keyword like recommends that would work instead? Or maybe the chef-provisioning cookbook doesn't belong in metadata.rb at all?
