Is there a hole in our bucket? :) As I tried to convey, I find that all-
or-nothing switch too coarse.
I just took DBus as an example as it had already been named and I had
noticed it now uses the autostart feature when I (finally) upgraded my
personal copy not long ago. Regardless of whether the daemon *can* be
auto-started I can see how one would not want it to be. Nothing should be
crippled if you only ever install a single runtime dependency of the DBus
daemon, for instance (given how the daemon is for IPC).
FWIW, I don't see what's wrong with select ports starting this kind of
service and above all I don't see why a single person would be able to ban
such behaviour for the entire community.
I've given my opinion, offered a number of solutions for the case at hand
(MP used *in* a build system), for the rest it's now blissfully out of my
hands.
