Actually, it doesn't make it unusable. You can install GNOME on a server
which is going to serve applications to a X terminal client in a
network, for example, and for that you don't need X installed on the
server machine, only on the client side.

A Recommends: is the highest dependency relationship that should go into
gnome{,-core}.

Thanks,
