[csw-maintainers] Proposal: switch off autostarting of services

We're currently defaulting to automatically start services after
installation. For example, when you install MySQL packages, the
database starts up without any additional commands. For MySQL this is
harmless enough, but as a general rule it goes against intuitions and
expectations of sysadmins.

I propose that we change the default to not start services by default.

Thoughts?
