+1 for saving service status by default. This has always annoyed me when working with "default" images and actually for me it was expected behavior until I found out it is not happening.
This is a very relevant behavior/feature affecting many of our "standard" users, e.g. when using OpenWrt for "Dump AP" setups where you disable DHCP etc. I'm sure a two-digit percentage of users setting up their device like that won't even be aware that they suddenly have a DHCP running again after upgrade.

Of course, if adding an option to _disable_ is fairly easy, we should do so.

Best
