The largest chunk of this is that the httpd RPM pulls in systemd, and that's going to be true presently for a lot of our RPMs. So that's a whole subthread to this. It'd be possible to teach micro-yuminst to just ignore requirements on specific packages like systemd, while still allowing anyone who explicitly wants them to pull them in.
