And instead we run it on *every boot* which makes booting the system slower
and maintenance of a installed system harder?

(Much of what "svcs" today prints is "scripts runs at boot which would
really needed to be run once when the system/package is installed"; that
alone makes it a lot harder to find out all the services running as
you can't see the forest for the trees)

We could probably fix it by making "svcs" only print services with running 
processes; the other services are typically not of interest.
