I think you misread his email, Bruno.
For example: Most people don't need LLDP turned on, and I can say that
with certainty unless there is a huge data center following and we cater
exclusively to them. It's things like this that end up polluting Fedora
boot over time and /that/ is not the appropriate way forward.
Supporting rarely used hardware is hardly catering to exclusive groups.
It is actually being more inclusive. Running the services isn't directly
a problem. There was a concern, because at least one of these services
was using a significant amount of CPU time even when there was no matching
hardware attached. These are the kind of issues that need to be addressed.
