Make authselect default to its minimal profile rather than its sssd profile, and make realmd responsible for running authselect to enable the sssd profile when it is required. I think realmd is already capable of installing the dependencies it needs when enabled, right? This way, most Fedora systems would no longer run sssd, but enabling enterprise login would not require manual configuration for those who need it.

Sorry, I somehow completely missed the F35 change to make files the first entry
in nssswitch.conf by default now.

I see on the changes (1) page that SSSD now also no longer is started by default,
that is great. 

Since SSSD already no longer runs by default, then I see no need
for a special "local" profile.

Thank you for your work on this!

Hans
