Laszlo, I feel your frustration. I don't think a revert to the previous situation is going to happen, because there are some real advantages resulting from not shipping admin-owned files in our packages. That said, the current situation is clearly not ideal either, so let's try to find a way to make things at least a bit better :) I think a reasonable compromise would be to add Environment=URIS="default" Environment=ON_BOOT="start" ... to libvirt-guests.service. Maybe instead of having the extended documentation that was originally in the defaults file we could have a shorter, one-line version? Maybe a pointer to the manual page? Whatever comments we put there will show up when running 'systemctl edit libvirt-guests', which makes them fairly discoverable IMO. That's really the key point, because even today you can change the behavior both with a defaults file and a systemd unit override. What do you think? Would that work for you? -- Andrea Bolognani / Red Hat / Virtualization
