I chose to run a bleeding edge distro to be on the bleeding edge. Requiring me to make the changes to be on the bleeding edge manually makes no sense.

Expecting that is as weird as expecting super stable LTS releases to run the latest-and-greatest of everything.

I want to speed up the migration for everything - that's why I run Arch. That 'override' is a manual step I don't want to have to do.
