Different for no good reason (other than to break legacy configuration)
is crap.  Providing multiple interfaces, one to manage some services and
one to manage the others, is major crap.

This isn't about managing one system; it's about managing lots of
systems and now one is different (but only for some services, who knows
which) for no good reason.

chkconfig and service commands?
