Just as ruby-shadow is an optional feature that is now a requirement
(as is libselinux-ruby in the Fedora builds). The idea is that these
requirements do no harm and they provide additional functionality out
of the box to those who want it.

Other than the tiny amount of disk space that the ruby-augeas
requirement pulls in, I don't see how it changes much at all. You
don't have to use the augeas type if you don't find it suitable to
you.
