The auto-paging is smarter than you might think. For example, "journalctl -e" can only really work if we spawn the pager ourselves, and there's more like that. But anyway, the auto-paging thing is going to stay, you can talk about it as much as you want. Why? Simply because *I* love it. It's one awesome feature. You are welcome to disagree, but discussing this forth and back on fedora-devel is highly unlikely to change my mind on this. As long as I maintain it, this one feature definitely stays in.
