I think we should avoid that -- if "depends" means "needs, in order to
be useful".  Everything in core Emacs should work and be useful without
ELPA.  And everything in GNU ELPA should work and be useful without
NonGNU ELPA.

The idea of NonGNU ELPA is to be add-ons to the rest.

Otherwise, Emacs proper becomes a patchwork of missing components.
