It is good that it is for Gnome desktop only, not impacting e.g. server setups. It could have still some negative effect on some reviews/benchmarks but on the other hand it brings some positive effect on user level observability. If turned off on LiveCD, the negative impact will be smaller. The only problem which remains - how should typical user know what all he/she could/should turn off? But I agree it is not specific to VP. Once again we are back to possibility to deliver "post-install" configuration dialog with set of features which are optional.
