Okay, let's talk about this then: Any strong optionions one way or the other?

I think this is a bikeshed. There is no technical argument (to my knowledge) 
that suggests either. My vote is for "_<service>" to keep the diff down, but 
that is not an argument of course. Others have said that it:
 - helps to recognize system processes
 - helps to see "bad things" happening (1000 _pflogd is not a good sign)
 - resolves possible namespace problems

I can't think of a propper contra, but maybe "It looks ugly" qualifies ;) Tell 
me if I overlook something. Thanks.
