The question is what do you gain by removing it? Are you also removing perl,
gcc, sendmail and the like? Those are bigger worries if someone gets in.
You gain one less package to check for updates and for corporate audits.
We would not install gcc on production servers, whe we do not need it either.
The real question should probably be, why does a generic package that
identifies the system (redhat-lsb) and is required by 3rd party
vendors require an optional package that provides printing support ?
If it would only depend on cups-libs, I would be less worried. But the
fact that it actually requires cups (lpr) and X libraries seems very
peculiar to me.
