But I am against a policy change for the cupsd - right now for openSUSE 12.2 because for openSUSE 12.2 it will cause major regressions (e.g. this bug report: system-config-printer is not prepared to show dialogs to the user to let him enable and start the cups service if cupsd is not running on localhost) and it is too late to find and fix all the regressions, - without thorough analysis and discussion because I miss a security analysis (e.g. what exactly is the security issue when a service is only accessible on localhost) and I miss a usability analsysis (how changes usability if the printing service is no longer ready-to-use by default) and I miss a discussion which includes relevant openSUSE and SLE experts and decision makers, - via Bugzilla because policy changes are never ever a bug and also no enhancement request (the opposite would be a bug: when the printing service is no longer ready-to-use by default, it would be a bug because then it would not work as intended according to our current policy for the cupsd).
