6 I'm not talking about selectively disabling cups. My proposal is
7 to no longer enable the cups useflag in the base profile. I don't
8 think cups should be part of the base profile, and as a result
9 cascading to the desktop profile. And a lot of people seem to
10 agree. Users can always enable that functionality when they
11 need it. It is not something that is necessary for running a
12 desktop system.
