(Sorry if this had been discussed before - I am new to the list)

Why FC2 t3 activates so many services by default? I had to manually
deactivate the following: 

 - irqbalance - why the hell it was even installed on a uniprocessor
machine? 

 - rawdevices - how many people need this? And those who do, probably
know enough to enable them

 - portmap/netfs/nfs/nfslock - well, I understand that they are
necessary in LAN environment, but could we add a question to installer
or firstboot so that  home users do not get this bunch? 

 - rpcgssd/rpcsvcgssd - I do not fully understand what these are, but I
definitely do not need them. How many people do?
