Perhaps, and I realise this may be a revolutionary thought, this is not somewhere systemd needs to exert itself. The `system-preset` interface is barely any better than `policy-rc.d` from the point of view of someone installing a package.

You'll find yourself in opposition to Major Hayden, the author of the headlined article, who wrote in May:

There's also the argument that determining whether a daemon should or should not be automatically started very much is the province of the service management subsystem, as automatic service start/stop/restart is very much what service management properly deals in.

You're confusing interface with implementation.
