Making cryptsetup/readahead/udev optional is certainly doable, but then
again, these things are absolutely trivial, so unless there is a strong
need for it, I'd avoid making things more complicated for me. Note that
it is not possible to boot up a machine withotu udev though. Only in
containers udev is optional as we can rely on a set up environment
there, and do not need to manage devices ever.

The journal cannot be removed really. We require this to capture
stdout/stderr of all services (or in other words: even folks who think
the journal is an abomination will benefit from this, as this means
stdout/stderr data is forwarded to syslog too).

These hardly make sense separate, and we actually spend some work in the
F18 time-frame to fold them back into the main package.
