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.

Cheers,
Paul
