OK, but the important case is not when everything works well but rather when there are issues, e.g. networking problems, and suddenly the UI locks up because it's blocked by CUPS. The point being that we want predictable and responsive UI, and ensuring it is simpler when it doesn't have far-reaching plumbing dependencies. I am not arguing against the dynamic CUPS, just saying that it requires careful thought and some tricky testing. -- devel mailing list devel@lists.fedoraproject.org https://admin.fedoraproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
