The system set (@system) is comprised ONLY of the packages listed in the various "packages" files under /usr/portage/profiles. The dependencies of the packages are NOT part of @system. What you are saying is that packages in @system should never be allowed to optionally have GUI functionality enabled. That's just stupid. If you want the smalled possible depgraph for @system, don't enable any USE flags for the packages in @system. It is just that simple.
