Sorry David, care to explain the rationale behind this commit? IMHO this breaks
POLA: I (and I guess a lot of other people) am used to just:

 chmod 0 /usr/local/etc/rc.d/foo.sh

to stop foo from running at next reboot while still keeping the ability to run
it by hand and maybe easily re-enable it at a later time. Granted, there are a
lot of other ways to achieve the same, but still I wonder the reasoning behind
this change. Did I miss a discussion?

Bye,
	Andrea
