Quite frankly I'd say even in the case of services that usually are expected to be started as default (e.g. httpd) I think I could live with having to manually activate it.
I see two exceptions: sshd and "local" services like e.g. dbus, beagle, etc. that don't listen on external IPs and that you cannot really expect the user to activate manually.
