This happened to me several months ago when creating a new RHEL template and I uninstalled the HAL daemon package, so I don't think it's a new dependency. However, there's no question that the dependency chains are getting very long and burdensome when trying to create a slim server image. You can't get rid of cups printing without removing important parts of the GUI. Removing libvorbis wants to remove firstboot, of much of the GUI, system-config-keyboard, and system-config-soundcard. The fewer packages you have installed, the fewer patches you have to apply. I don't like having to through a patch cycle because of a libvorbis security erratum and I can't remove the package from my oracle database servers.
