Extra services not being turned off

Description

I'm running 1.2.0rc2 server/client on RHEL6 machines and am not getting extra services to turn off when requested. I have a few services on a new machine that aren't mentioned in any bundles and are listed as extra with bcfg2 -q -v -n -e, but trying to remove them with bcfg2 -q -v -I -r all prompts me for removal, but doesn't appear to actually do anything. After running, the services remain. Note that these services aren't mentioned anywhere in my configs - they just came with packages, but I want them off without needing to hunt for them.

After thinking about this more, I think I see where this would be a problem. What exactly does service removal mean? To me, it would mean removing the service completely (i.e. rm /etc/init.d/foo). But that would mean the package that provides this service would no longer verify properly. What exactly are you wanting the client to do in this case?

In my opinion, "removing" a service should just shut it off. The package manager should be the manager of the service's files, and bcfg should be the manager of whether or not it is running. This way I can install a package that includes a service and know that unless I explicitly say I want its service running, then it will be turned off without me needing to periodically see what new services I might have gained on running machines.

Well, I guess "stop it and then chkconfig it off" is more specific.
