IIUC, recommends are for things that are optional, but that provide support for important features/whatever. E.g., for something most users would want, but that's still optional. And I think VTE support is such a thing :) But that's packaging stuff I don't care much, unless it starts giving us reports like OP's one about "where my VTE has gone" (and it probably will…).
