Why are 'rpm -i' and 'rpm -U' different?
Why are 'ln -s' and 'ln' different?

Because they're different things.

'off' - configure the service to not start
'del' - remove all state for the service entirely

So, misuse of the command to make --list easier to read is worth
changing the behavior that's existed since the command was introduced?
