For the kernel requires you should file bz requests, glib2 looks small
enough to not worry about it IMNSHO. (Just like we don't make pam optional
or similar things. ;-)

The problem is pam_console (and maybe others) modules (which are by
default configured to be used) require glib2. And I don't see any
possibility to make the pam_console optional. So you can tune your
minimum install so the pam_console is removed from all /etc/pam.d/...
configs and then you can remove glib2. Or you can write a patch for all
pam modules in redhat which use glib2 which replace the functionality
provided by glib2 by another means and if it's good it will be applied.
But I won't write it as I have many more useful things to do.
