Sure there is. Having multiple methods means more things that have to
be tested, more things that have to be updated for system changes, etc.
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.
