It doesn't.
It requires kernel-core or kernel-debug-core, not both. If both are missing, then the system won't even be boot-able.
Why does it require either though? I've got dozens of F29 hosts without firewalld ... somehow. Yet if I try to remove firewalld on a Raspberry Pi 3 (where I've also installed F29) dnf won't let me because of the requirement on kernel-core. I believe my other F29 hosts likely once had firewalld, but I have puppet remove it since my firewall module for puppet only does iptables. So I'm confused as to how I succeeded in removing firewalld on those hosts, but fail now with the Pi. Arch dependent???
firewalld requires kernel-core does not mean that kernel-core requires firewalld. So the problem must be something else. On my systems I can easily remove firewalld without problems.
