Quite frankly I'd say even in the case of services that usually are 
expected to be started as default (e.g. httpd) I think I could live with 
having to manually activate it.

I see two exceptions: sshd and "local" services like e.g. dbus, beagle, 
etc. that don't listen on external IPs and that you cannot really expect 
the user to activate manually.
