Personally, I think if I were starting from square one, I'd
do port numbers, not service names, but that's not the way it's
been for many years and even though my preference would be numbers
my loathing for yet another option far outweighs this preference.
So, I'd prefer not to see a knob for this. The change
does not warrant the churn.
