All those options sound valid to me, so the requirements team should
pick what they are the most comfortable with.

My 2c: yes g-r is mostly about runtime dependencies and ensuring
co-installability. However it also includes test/build-time deps, and
generally converging dependencies overall sounds like a valid goal. Is
there any drawback in adding gunicorn to g-r (option 1) ?
