I don't like the idea of packages being installed meaning I want them to run services, schedule cron jobs or give elevated access by default. This kind of thing makes it easy to shoot yourself in the foot. The purpose of not installing packages should be to save disk space and resources needed for updates, not security and integrity. -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
