It's not a good practice to do that. And what we get by removing two
lines from the bootstrap script putting them to the RPM when the script
is (as you see) quite big. I see no added value.

On top of that, we do restart goferd, but it must be running. It is not
by default (for the same reasons). I would recommend to leave the
decision on the administrator.
