Fair play, I don't need GDM and for Arch Linux on my computer only GDM
depends indirectly to pulaseaudio.

I simply fear that PA and other software that could brake some usages,
will spread, without any need.

There will alway be a way (at least with help from the community) to get
rid of such annoying software. But IMO the simplest way is to stop
making odd dependencies.
