24 There is no such thing as a non-systemd profile; a sub directory is a
25 specialization, that doesn't mean that it parents suddenly become the
26 opposite of that. No, the parents are just generalizations that aren't
27 as specific as the sub directory.

29 Doing what you've suggested everywhere but in gnome/systemd and
30 kde/systemd is a recipe to upset everyone whom runs systemd on another
31 desktop environment than GNOME or KDE; so, that's not a way forward.
32
33 Another option is to create no-systemd sub directories; but such
34 profiles will be highly controversial, besides helping the exponential
35 grow of the profiles directories as well as be a non-default profile.

37 Mix-ins from Funtoo, anyone?
