Fedora comes with it out of the box, the Mac AP/routers actually support it out of the box as well as are some others I believe so by not starting this we are leaving users open to possible attach vectors. >> 3. isdn: isdn requires configuration and thus should be set to start >> when that config is actually done. >> >> 4. setroubleshootd: That service also takes long to boot, but its quite >> usefull.

I actually think we should not ship printing support by default. Its better for the environment if people actually have to work out how to print to paper before they can do so.... think of trees we'll save :-P Does that make my opinion correct though, probably not! Those services are all very useful to be configured out of the box for newbies, but it doesn't mean they can't be started up async though.
