Probably, though IMO if your sentence can in some degree be socially
correct (aren't we all tired of those fanatics?), it may also be
technically irrelevant. I still feel it's probably a sensitive thing to
do. See below.

would probably make sense for those buildd to always select the
nosystemd profile when building, which would make life easier.

If adding my sentence above, then yes.
