(Whether in a > tuned profile or something else.) The last time I discussed this with Matthew Garrett we came to the conclusion that this isn't something we want for the general case. Best is to ping him about this. I am pretty sure that "tuned" is nothing we ever want to ship by default. To "tune" something is the opposite of having good defaults. We want good defaults, no tuning. Lennart -- Lennart Poettering, Red Hat -- desktop mailing list desktop@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/desktop
