It's broken. systemd will use it when GNOME isn't involved, therefore,
it will be broken at another level. It doesn't have a configuration on
purpose, because it should just work. We don't add configuration options
in GNOME when things should just work.

Disabling the support at the systemd level is as easy as masking a target.
Somebody interested in using the feature just needs to unask a target,
without needing to make changes to GNOME on top of that.

This is what you want to do.

Adding a new configuration option doesn't explain to the end-user why this
might be a bad option to enable in the current state. It doesn't explain
why it's not enabled by default if it's a good feature to use.
