But that's a state in itself, functionally equivalent to "off on all
runlevels". It's unique only in the way that it is not preserved by "rpm
-U"
No, it's a state equivalent to 'no state at all'.
This is the core of the problem and I don't think I received a
good
answer yet.
Because you don't randomly change established, documented, and
expected behavior on a whim.
Tradition is fine and all that, but it should change when it's
hampering
the usability. Maybe I spent too much time lately with the Gnome HIG and
stuff like that (not strictly related, I know, but you get the idea),
but I think it's the computer semantics that should bend over backwards
to adapt to human semantics, not the other way around.
You want to help usability? Help work on something better.
