Assume that I'm a user who doesn't like some system apps being automatically white-listed under Battery optimization settings and immune from battery optimization or is fed up with Play services consuming more than its fair share of battery. I'm looking for a solution which would revoke this privilege enjoyed by those apps and add them into the line where the rest of the ordinary comrade apps are waiting for the user to mark them with *Don't optimize*.

As of now, these are the apps white-listed by Android 6.0.1 in my rooted Nexus 6: IMG I'm most interested in removing *com.google.android.gms*.
