I don't think that is reasonable at all. Dependencies are not added just
because we enjoy bloating our stack, but because they add functionality
that we deem useful. 

Fear of future dependencies is a crazy reason to preemptively
reimplement something. If and when polkit-gnome grows a dependency that
you consider unacceptable, that is the right time to voice that concern,
and, in the worst case, consider forking off your own implementation.
