For instance bash is often listed as being part of a minimal installation pattern for a normal system installation. This is wrong! For _using_ an installed system bash is not needed. It is obviously needed for some other packages to run their startup scripts and stuff like that. But this is solved by the other packages drawing in bash by dependencies. This also applies to glibc and more packages. If you list them explicitely you have made the mess yourself.
From a theoretical POV, I agree and see your point.
From a practical POV, I'd rather have YaST tell me "removing bash breaks your base system" instead of listing (possibly hundreds) of packages depending on bash.
