Ultimately it's up to the distro to decide if (a) they turn on the
kernel support and (b) enable the systemd services by default. Setting
the fsproperty just means that you'll get different levels of
online repair functionality if the user/sysadmin/crond actually invoke
the services.
(That said, I was wondering if it was time to get rid of all the Kconfig
options...)
