The ebuild(s) gnome-base/gnome-light* is dep. on gdm. GDM is not QUOTE'bare
minimum of libs/apps needed' and needs to be removed from the ebuild(s).

I'm a bit undecided. A login manager is pretty basic these days. Devs chime in
?

hmm, Personally I never use the login manager, preferring to have all my
terminals in text-mode only.

So for me, I would well scrap gdm from the -light meta

how does gdm relate to text mode only terminals (?)

anyway, reasonable request. gdm got removed from gnome-light-2.6 . We'll see how it turns out.
