I should clarify: there might be Vala software out there that someone 
would want to run in an embedded context. And that software might 
require Vala bindings for libraries that are in oe-core. If we don't 
provide those bindings, then either the layer that adds vala recipe also 
has to patch all of our oe-core recipes, or (worse!) the person who 
needs something vala-based also has to ad-hoc-patch the dependency 
recipes of that.
