bad practice: services that are automatically re-enabled

My POV:

The way FC and RHEL are shipped now, once installed, every service has 
either an S or K link in eachj runlevel. Extras should continue that 
behavior, for consistency.

chkconfig --add is only for package install scripts.
chkconfig --del is only for package uninstall scripts.

'chkconfig foo on' is for users and package install scripts for the very 
few packages that need to be on by default.

'chkconfig foo off' is for users and package install scripts for most 
services.

Anyone disagree?
