I am not sure if I am getting this right. What is 'these'? Are you are
talking about the desktop UI or firewall-config UI here?
I was talking about the desktop UI. It doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me to have user-facing switches in the desktop UI that, in the default system configuration, are "broken" (from a naive user's point of view).
To be able to add a service configuration file, the information about ports
etc. is needed. Dynamic ports are not good for this. Lots of these desktop
features are using some dynamic port(s), which makes the creation of service
configuration files hard or impossible.
A futher complication is that some depend on other features, such as mDNS. In an ideal world there'd be some way to express this in the configuration, I suppose.
