Pardon me if this is something that "everybody knows," but gedit (the gnome gui text editor) has a dependency on libbluray.

I've googled and read the release notes for gedit, with no luck, and I can't for the life of me think of a legitimate reason for this.

I'm using RHEL7 Workstation, but I suspect any gnome DE will have this same strangeness.

The gedit package doesn’t depend on libbluray directly; it depends on Gvfs, the virtual file system, and that can use libbluray to retrieve Blu-ray metadata. The RHEL package is built with this support in place, which is why you end up needing libbluray to install the gedit package (indirectly).
