Management of alternatives requires root privileges and, as you
mentioned, affects every user of computer. Because of this, I think such
a feature will not be implemented in xdg-utils. These programs are
intended primarily for interacting with DE, not core system mechanisms.
** Changed in: xdg-utils (Ubuntu)
