I'm quite surprised at this behavior; it seems completely wrong. Services should never be running when the services that they depend on are not running. (I suppose that that rule must be violated when a service dies, when you have no choice but to shut down dependents after the dependency, but I would say that it should never be violated in non-failure cases.) Please, make the change. If you really must retain the current wrong behavior, make *it* the option.
