	You're going to hate me.
	I disagree.  I've been reading a few docs, none of which give any
definitive answer to this question.... it seems to me though, that Sys V
init is defined in terms of the services operating in each runlevel.  For
this interface to be consistant, everthing that is considered a "service"
should have a defined on or off value for each runlevel.  Deleting a link
indicates an undefined state for this service, which is ugly.

	It all depends on whether you like a stateless init setup, like I
do where it doesn't matter where you came from, only where you are now, or
whether you prefer the messy BSDish setup I guess.
