19 People keep saying disk space is not an issue but it is on embedded
20 systems. Even 4k or one i-node. So the choice to not install unit
21 files is important. I'm sympathetic to the idea of reducing use flags
22 and I would really not like to see USE="openrc" or "systemd" everywhere.
23 Without having tested, it does seem that INSTALL_MASK is sufficient.
24 I recommend going that route and documenting it.
