Personally i think everything that isn't needed should be deactivated. If
you add hardware, start kudzu, if not, you never need it to run.
The same goes with every other service / daemon, if its not needed, i dont
start it, especially at boot. Everything can be stated manualy later if it
becomes necessary.

Wouldn't it be easier to de-activate it, so that it doesn't start?

Very true. As long as it functions properly, there isn't much of a problem
with it running, it is simply a personal preference i have to disable
things.
Also, sorry for the somewhat cranky tone; its been a very long morning....
