Well, Vala is a blessed dependency of the GNOME desktop so I see no
reason why they shouldn't be shipped by default.
Personally I'd like the bindings to be there, because Emerillon's
plugins will heavily depend on them and it would be a bit unfortunate
if some distributions didn't ship them because they were off by
default...
