 I agree with that. It is not difficult to REstart service by hands.

  But stopping service is another story. Many ports/packages stop
 service on dinstall/pkg_delete, and as result, if port with service
 are upgraded in the middle of large upgrade session (and it is not
 always possible to upgrade services SEPARATELY, due to dependences),
 here is large window when old service is stopped, but new cannot be
 started yet.
