Riccardo, Well, without libxml2 none of the NSXML* classes or GSXML classes will work. I believe that nib reading will also cease to function, we won't be able to read XML based plists either. I believe it already is a hard dependency at this point. I'll need to check by removing it from my system when I have the chance to do that.
In any case, I see no problem with it being a hard dependency or with putting it in prior to FOSDEM given that the existing classes have never worked.
