[systemd-devel] [RFC] Preset Files

| If "systemctl preset" is passed with unit names, those units would
| be enable/disabled as listed in the preset file. If no argument is
| passed all units would be reset to the preset defaults. (another
| long-sought feature...)

I'd like this to be systemctl preset --all or similar, so it's

systectl $verb $things_to_act_on

it should be pretty rare you want to reset everything to the default
state, so the extra six keypresses shouldn't matter.

| Anyway, this of course requires some buy-in from the distributions, so
| I'd like to ask the distro maintainers for comments on this. Do you
| think this would be useful to you? Any other suggestions, ideas?

Debian already has a similar setup based around invoke-rc.d, which is
called from the maintainer scripts.  I think it's hard to reconcile the
different ways that invoke-rc.d and systemctl preset would work, but I
like the approach you're looking at.
