I never said it was totally unreasonable.  I'm saying it would probably
be easy to fix and that they simply don't want to.  If they wanted to,
they could and would.

Anyway, it gives me to think that such a misunderstanding has come up to
begin with and that it hasn't been fixed long ago.  Someone who doesn't
understand what "disabled" means is programming an init system:  What
other misunderstandings might have gone into it?  Why obfuscate things
and mislead and confuse the users?

It may be only a little piece in a big puzzle.  Look at the
documentation and you find more such pieces.  With such pieces, what
would make me think that the authors of systemd actually know what
they're doing or that they have some appreciation for their users?
