It seems that there are use cases beyond just embedded systems for

And yes, I think it is useful for openembedded-core to have as broad an
audience as possible.
Our resources are limited, so there has to be specific evidence for a
need for Vala; not the vague 'it could be useful to someone out there'
kind of thinking.
The reason I was proposing removing Vala is that:
a) you can count the open source software written in Vala on fingers of
one hand: it's Rygel, Elementary OS apps, and a couple of
desktop-oriented Gnome apps.
b) until yesterday, we haven't heard of any in-house usage of Vala by OE
users.
But since people have spoken up, I'll make a different proposal in a moment.
That said, what other layers use vala? If it leaves core, is there a
layer that can host it and support other layers using it without to much
trouble?
As far as oe-core and all of meta-oe layers go, it's Rygel and
vala-terminal, that's all.
