Yes, agree, the goal of a kit is to bundle or group products of any
type, without production processing.

But what I meant is the type of the kit itself. Should kits with
components of mixed types behave always the same?

To use your example, should there a difference in the functionality
for kit A and kit B:

1 Kit A: Premium Service-Kit (*service*)
  10 hour support pack (service)
   1 pen drive (stockble)

1 Kit B: Premium Service-Kit (*stockable*)
  10 hour support pack (service)
   1 pen drive (stockble)


For now, both kits at least produce stock movements for the pen drive.

Kit A does not produce stock movements for the kit, because the kit is
of type service. This has the consequence that I can not see the kit
itself on the picking list and delivery note, which seems ok so far.
The kit is shown on the invoice, which is ok, too.

Kit B produces stock movements for the kit itself, because the kit is
of type stockable. Here I can see the kit itself on the picking
list and delivery note. But with this setup I need to maintain the
stock levels for kits, which does not make much sense for me. 

Is the option to have kits of type stockable really intended?

Cheers
Udo
