The thing is, that what is great for one may be bad for the other.

Removing autofs from the default install means one less thing to kill 
after each install.

Yet other changes may make my life more difficult and yours easier.

I guess that how it always will be. Luckily it's not too hard to 
customize install if you need lots and lots of machines.
