Is the transitive dependency from the data layer to database/network modules intended in Now in Android?

[jtm0609]

I have a question regarding the Now in Android project.
It follows the Google App Architecture guidelines, and currently the data module uses api dependencies to expose the database and network modules transitively. The issue is that even when a feature module only depends on the data module, it can still directly access data models from the database or network modules (e.g., NetworkNewsResource).
Is this the intended structure?
Personally, I feel that this blurs the boundaries between layers, which undermines the purpose of separating the architecture. What are your thoughts on this?
