AFAIK, there are no guidelines -- look through the wiki and see if you can find any? I agree that what you're saying is what the standard should be, but other packagers' understanding appears to be something closer to "if it's a non-default package, install should enable since installing means you want it". See, for example, BZ #433408 later, chris -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
