Clarification: ...that it was an external dependency *which no one
plans to have a hard dependency on*.  Huge difference.

Blessed as far as gnome releases goes means allowed as a hard
dependency for modules.  PK and PK-gnome are not blessed external
dependencies because you said that no hard dependencies were needed at

(I'd give my +1 for blessing them now if we need it, it just was
assumed that we didn't need to discuss it.)
