Really? So maybe *you* don't care about the services state when you stop
it. But *I* could expect it to be running, if I ask it to stop. Because
something could be wrong, if the service is not running, I want to know
if it isn't. OTOH its not me requesting the service to stop, but a
process that can't know that I eventually stopped the service, because I
wanted to do.

Well doesn't matter, really. I agree to what you are saying. But the
point is, that others could see that different. Thats were rules and
policies come in handy.
