There are cases where I don't want a service, but it's package is pulled in as 
a depend (kind of the depend doesn't matter) - nevermind that I can't give 
you an example right now. Why should I have it enabled by default, as I could 
have missed it's presence at all?

Alex, don't take it personally: how can a (group of) devel(s) know what 
his/their user(s) want? Another wording: why don't we ask the users instead 
of the devels? ;)

I (as an user) find "service foo (add|list|del|stop|start)" handy and easy to 
remember to, and I'm used to it. So I would vote for disabled services by 
default, if it's not takes ages to implement so.
