It would be yet another out-of-tree patch to carry along forever in Fedora. Or at best we try and upstream the default as a config setting but I'm not sure Linus would bite on that given his commit message when he switched the default to disabled. I'd rather avoid carrying a patch that has no chance of upstream when it can be done by a unit file or systemd itself. That's why they're settable from userspace to begin with. josh -- devel mailing list devel@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
