I don't consider this nonsense, wifi-menu is not an essential part of netctl so dialog shouldn't be in the depends. wifi-menu also isn't important enough to receive its own package. I see zero problem with wifi-menu remaining a binary in netctl that requires an optdepend in order to function because wifi-menu does nothing extraordinary but provide a simple user interface to netctl.
To sum it up: the status-quo is fine as it is. There is no point in changing something that not only works but also makes perfect sense.
Moreover, netctl is in base so it shouldn't bring unessential dependencies.
