No you can't really. The auto-paging is smarter than you might
think. For example, "journalctl -e" can only really work if we spawn the
pager ourselves, and there's more like that.

But anyway, the auto-paging thing is going to stay, you can talk about
it as much as you want. Why? Simply because *I* love it. It's one
awesome feature. You are welcome to disagree, but discussing this forth
and back on fedora-devel is highly unlikely to change my mind on
this. As long as I maintain it, this one feature definitely stays
in. Sorry for that!
