This stems from a request of mine, and is therefore my fault.. Presets are a valuable new feature for both distribution constructors and administrators - rather than having a single hardcoded policy *in the packages* about what starts and doesn't start (and requires rebuilding to fix), presets allow an easy way for: - administrators - provisioners - spin maintainers to easily define what should & shouldn't be running for their install. However, it will take some work to get that done across the repository of packages, so I requested that Vaclav, Lukas, Michal, and any others look into what is needed to do this work in the repository. I had intended for them to provide patches and an offer to commit, but I didn't communicate that clearly to them. Apologies to those worried by these requests, and to Vaclav, Lukas, and Michal for anything that comes their way.
