This behaviour is congruent with SELinux. One utility adjusts the
permanent configuration, the one that will be applied at startup.
Another changes the current running environment without altering the
startup config. From a sysadmin point of view this is desirable since
changes to a running system are often performed for empirical testing.
Leaving ephemeral state changes permanently fixed in the startup
config could, and almost certainly would eventually, lead to serious
problem during a reboot. Likewise, immediately introducing a state
change to a running system when reconfiguring system startup options
is just begging for an operations incident report. It may not be
intuitive to some but it is certainly the logical way of handling this.
I certainly don't disagree with this behavior.
What I disagree with is documented commands _*not working and failing
silently*_.
