I consider openssl (or gnutls) essential for wget. You can't even get the kernel without it. The packages are recommended, so it's up to the user to figure it out if not following the recommendations.

I agree, and with ssl, ca certs are needed as well, but people can download the kernel via ftp. I think --without-ssl should be in the list. After all, the only way to download files is with ftp from a base LFS install from inetutils.
