Comment (by kevin):

 So, looking at rhel7...

 they ship a disable * preset after their specific package presets. This
 means if we simply do nothing, packages will all be disabled by default.

 The changes in the spec file will be for every single package that wants
 to be enabled by default. It will have to replace the systemd_post macro
 above with a call to systemctl that enables the service.

 Thinking about it, I wonder how often we would need to update a preset
 file. There can't be that many services in epel that we want to enable by
 default...
