This breaks the principle of least surprise. If you do not need to supply flags when calling rcctl in the shell you should not have to supply flags when using ansible. I fully understand if you do not want to add knobs. This only means I will need to replicate svc_default_enabled_flags() in my module. I would rather store as much logic as possible in rcctl itself to keep the overhead/upkeep low, but you can't get everything i guess :). Regards, Patrik Lundin
