How about?

1) vala compiler recipe and support for generating library bindings 
stays in oe-core

2) we take care of updating the vala recipe to latest stable upstream 
version

3) we make sure that vala recipe builds correctly and library bindings 
are generated without error for libraries that are in oe-core

4) any other issues, such as compiler not working properly, or issues 
with bindings for things that are not in oe-core are handled by 'the 
community'.
