Snip away. I said in my posting
https://lists.debian.org/debian-user/2016/03/msg01032.html
that I was expressing my own views on the way links are placed in
/etc/systemd/ to override the defaults in /lib/systemd/.
John Hasler asked a specific question, albeit rather open-ended,
which I answered in specific terms, making necessary assumptions.
If you don't like the methods, don't use them. I'm not interested
in spending my time answering your easy-to-pose rhetorical questions
(two of which immediately follow a line that I didn't write) with
well-thought out replies.

After all, you haven't clarified your point in the same post.

Cheers,
David.
