ACK.
I totally understand the difference between a developer who has to
decide the default settings for a large scale of environments and
a single user systems where the user is also admin.

So it wasn´t a allegation. ;)

But in my experience the deactivation of these services has a real
effort in boot-speed and also in a runing system (not to speak about
possible security efforts)

That all was meant when i said:

And it is an other experience that Ubuntu-developers make their
decisions based on good arguments. ;)

This is what is called a "strategic arrangement".


The Gentoo way is to disable everything until the user enables it
manually (an other strategic arrangement).

Both ways has their advantages and disadvantages.

The only way to make the decision between those two is to decide to
which user the distri should geared to.

And personally i like the Ubuntu way more.

I get used to say:
In Getoo you *have* to do everything.
In Ubuntu you *might* do everything.
