--- Comment #3 from Jose Luis Duran <jlduran@FreeBSD.org> ---
Although I agree that this can be frustrating, gateway is not a service. 

That is, gateway_enable and ipv6_gateway_enable are just variables that are
checked under the routing service, they just happen to be named *_enable.

The case for firewall, is a little different. It gets set under ipfw:

    # service ipfw enable
    ipfw enabled in /etc/rc.conf
    # sysrc firewall_enable
    firewall_enable: YES

    # service ipfw disable
    ipfw disabled in /etc/rc.conf
    # sysrc firewall_enable
    firewall_enable: NO

If we inspect the ipfw rc.d script, you'll find that rcvar is defined as
firewall_enable.  The reason for this discrepancy is likely historic.

In short, confusing, but IMO not a bug.
