What I miss in Gentoo is the simple format for services like found in Redhat 
and many others, ie:

service servicename stop/start/restart

It eliminates needing to know where the service directory is or including it 
every time.

service httpd stop

is a lot easier than any other incarnation and make any system easier to 
admin.
