IMO, we shouldn't be adding something as esoteric as Vala to OE-Core unless it is absolutely needed. AFAICT the only part of systemd needing vala is the GUI which given this dependency would be better placed elsewhere. At the moment in the stabilisation period we're not in a position to do systemd integration in OE-Core, however AIUI the first step along that road as discussed recently at the BSP/Collab Summit will be to split out the systemd parts of meta-oe into a separate layer.
