Would it be possible to spliy up wro4j-extensions so that eg when using the lesscss compiler, it doesn't pull in all the dependencies for sass?

There is an open issue to split the extensions module in multiple smaller modules. However it requires a large amount of work and probably will be released as part of a major release (2.0.0) or at least 1.8.0.

Until then, the only solution is to explicitly exclude the unwanted dependencies. Also, it is possible to not use the extensions module at all and create a custom processor which is copied from the extensions module.
