I don't think anyone is advocating that it's always practical.  In fact, I
believe I implied that it wasn't always practical in the part of the
message you were replying to that you deleted.  :)

More generally (and this part is not pointed at Thomas), I realize it's
become de rigueur in any thread about systemd to reply to "hm, you could
consider getting a dog" with "WHY DO YOU WANT TO KILL MY KITTENS?!?!?",
but seriously folks, could we tone down the assumption that people with
differing preferences want to break everything you do?  It's just a few
additional options.  If you don't think they're good options, don't follow
them!  It doesn't have to turn into a huge argument.

People make suggestions to me all the time that I don't follow, for
reasons of time, simple disagreement, or because I'm still thinking about
the problem.  Everyone understands this.  It's not a big deal unless we go
out of our way to make it one.
