Since systemd needs special profiles to be easy to use ... ... it'd be the boring and easy way to restrict it to those profiles so that dependency changes don't cause this needless amount of work for users, and this indecent amount of mail on this mailinglist > > Doing what you've suggested everywhere but in gnome/systemd and > kde/systemd is a recipe to upset everyone whom runs systemd on another > desktop environment than GNOME or KDE; so, that's not a way forward.
