It looks like a lot of things need vala (or more precisely vala-native).
I just tried a build which included meta-browser (I know this isn't OE-core
but _is_ very common) and saw this dependency chain:
"vala-native" -> "libxslt-native" [style=solid]
"vala-native" -> "glib-2.0-native" [style=solid]
"vala-native" -> "autoconf-native" [style=solid]
"vala-native" -> "automake-native" [style=solid]
"vala-native" -> "libtool-native" [style=solid]
"vala-native" -> "gnu-config-native" [style=solid]
"vala-native" -> "pkgconfig-native" [style=solid]
"vala-native" -> "flex-native" [style=solid]
"vala-native" -> "bison-native" [style=solid]

In this case, I think vala (vala-native) deserves OE-core status.
