In Arch at the moment, we only have vala 0.10. This is fine for me, as I don't care about the vala parts of systemd, so I just removed vala from my system and systemd from git compiles fine. However, I guess for other people who might have vala installed for other purposes, it would make sense to be allowed to build (the non-vala partst of) systemd from git. In other words, why not treat "vala < 0.11" the same way as we treat "no vala at all" (which I thought was the intention of Dave's patch)?
