Subject: [gentoo-user] systemd as a Profile - practical or not?

Hi all,

Ok, before I go and open up a bug requesting this...

I know there have to be a lot of people on this list who can answer 
this question...

Is making the use of systemd or not based on a selected Profile, as 
opposed to manually trying to do it via USE flags etc, a practical 
request, or not?

Meaning:

1. is it doable,

2. how hard (on a scale of 1/easy to 10/hard to impossible) would it
    be to do this, and

3. regardless of the difficulty in achieving it, how hard would it be
    (on a scale of 1 (easy) to 10 (hard to impossible)) to maintain in
    the long run?

I'm hoping that even if the answer to #2 above is 7+, if the answer to 
#3 is 'relatively easy' or better, then maybe it still stands a chance 
of getting done.

And incidentally, Canek, if I was a programmer, I'd be happy to 
volunteer to take it on, but alas I'm just a lowly user...

Thanks...
