I don't think all of that makes "perfect sense".  There is a big
difference between turning the system on and off and actually changing
significant system settings like time and packages.

Again, you are also making the assumption that "desktop distro" ==
"single-user system", when the Fedora desktop work is going in the other
direction (making the desktop more multi-user friendly).  Many home
systems are now multi-user, and not everybody should be installing
software.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
