<p dir="ltr">Our install is still quite small and we take the risk of hitting that compute node whilst the service is starting, but we haven't actually encountered that yet (probably a user base size issue) ...</p>
<p dir="ltr">IMHO, having a reason why stuff is disabled avoids hours of confusion and trying to find the person who 'did it'.</p>
<p dir="ltr">In terms of keeping track, I'd have thought that the dashboard admin panel can show you service states and I'd expect a disabled service to say 'disabled', but again we don't even use this feature at the moment.</p>
