It is now a requirement, yes (as are git >= 1.7.5 and tar >= 1.24). As I understand it a documentation update is queued to cover this. FWIW, for older hosts where installing these tools in the normal fashion is difficult or impractical, there is now buildtools-tarball (which replaces and extends the old external-python-tarball). This builds on the relocatable SDK installer to provide suitable versions of python, git, tar and other tools required on the build host. I believe the plan is to offer this for download so that people can get started immediately (and of course point to this in the documentation).
