I don't understand what's so hard to decide.

Whatever method is chosen needs to integrate with system-config-services 
in one way or another, because that's what the user (me) expects. 
Certainly I don't want to be editing config files of any kind, that's 
the Unix way, and seems quite obsolete to me. Currently it seems that 
many services fail that test - I can tell just looking at the selinux 
denials - mrtg and munin and suspect.
