Well, I can understand this conclusion and think it's right - if I install a
package, I may do so because I may know what it is and thus use it. Why
would I install a package and not use it? I think Mdk should stay the way
they are; ie. if a package is installed, enable it.
Also the opposite is true: I would be kinda pissed if I chose to install a
package and then it would be turned off. This makes no sense to me.

That should read: "Turn off *ALL* network servers..."

But then, this does not make sense to me. Why install and turn off?
