This isn't quite so simple as "agreed". Are we saying that we want to rework volatiles handling after feature freeze? My view on this is that yes, we do need to do something about it, but right now during stabilisation is not the right time. Particularly when the patches proposed aren't even tested with sysvinit. So I'm interested in patches which make things work better without making fundamental changes now. We can look at changing volatiles with a properly thought out plan in the next development cycle. Making the systemd configuration match the rest of the default system setup would seem to be sensible. We should make it possible for others to override that if their setup isn't volatile.
