Originally I asked that question because I misunderstood what the goal of
this change was.

I thought that you were proposing to add the ability to enable / disable
multiple services at the same time, so I was asking about the ability to
start / stop multiple services at the same time.

It's clear not that's not what you were trying to propose.

So instead, what about listing the services that are running, and also
listing the services that are configured, but not running?

I don't know that that provides a lot of value, so it may not be worth
doing.
