That gets back to my previous question: why would I want one or more
daemons required for a static server configuration? That is just more
things to break. We already have udev, dbus, hald, and console-kit (I
have an F9 firewall where something starts console-kit; I don't know
what or why) for example, without any good docs about which can be
disabled and when; please don't add NM.
