 From ODSExporterInstance.uninstall():

         signerd_service = services.knownservices.ods_signerd

This means that signerd_service here is not an instance of the 
service.Service class or of its child class but is rather an instance of 
the RedHatService class, a child class of the services.SystemdService 
class. Thus it has to be treated with special care.
