How would a distro / user know what to do here?  Why would they ever
disable this?

Please let's make this automatic, and work properly, no configuration
option should be needed, _IF_ this doesn't cause a problem for people
with normal systems.

If it does cause problems, then a config option is also not the correct
response, as that's not how to manage this type of thing.

thanks,
