Currently, loading devtools causes shiny to be loaded, but it shouldn't. This is because devtools imports miniUI, which imports shiny.
Searching the code for miniUI, I see only this (and the corresponding entry in NAMESPACE):
#' @importFrom miniUI miniPage
Searching for miniPage, I see no other uses of it. So I think miniUI can be removed as a dependency, and I think this will make it so shiny will no longer be needed at all by devtools.
