Correct. So, then this should be filed as a bug? Or a feature?
In any case, it appears that the advice to use the
system-config-services gui is no longer ready for implementation.
My personal view wrt this and similar discussions: the biggest USP of
linux and unix-based systems is stability: it would be nice not to
compromise on that. Despite its leading edge status, Fedora did maintain
that from 1 through the initial days of 14 (even though there were
hiccups in 2 with jump from 2.4 to 2.6). I hope whatever changes are
introduced do not cause people like me to wonder about this.
Many thanks and best wishes,
Ranjan
