I think a saner default would be to not start daemons on install. It's one of the reasons CentOS has grown on me.

The biggest annoyance is the lack of consistency. Some daemons start on install, others do not. Some use an /etc/default file to control it, others do not.

The /etc/default/<daemon> configuration file comes from upstream, and is not created by the package maintainer.
