[Picking one random message to answer]

Yes, I am aware that chmod -x would suffice, and I can as well
"mv foo.sh foo.sh-". I don't want this to end up as a "how do you disable a
service" thread. Besides, a chmod -x would have the same problem, that is,
after this patch the script would be run at reboot.

I am not opposing this patch, just asking for the reasoning behind it, warning
that it may break POLA, and asking for at least an UPDATING entry and/or no
MFC.
