8 Quite the opposite, to have a separate systemd profile would mean that
9 systemd was not the default, otherwise it would be in the default
10 profile. Not that defaults really matter with Gentoo, you have a systemd
11 profile and an openrc profile, who gives a toss which is default when you
12 have a simple to make choice?

18 How is putting systemd setting in a profile that a user has to
19 consciously choose to use forcing anything on anyone? Profiles are the
20 essence of choice but it appears you only want the choices you approve of
21 to be available.
