Unless service foo needs to save state, I don't see a lot of point in 
stopping it.

Interpret "service foo" liberally, I've been wondering why several 
things are done during shutdown (and switching runlevels) including 
shutting down network interfaces.

It may be a topic for a group discussion, I don't see the point of 
umounting filesystems unless and except where it's necessary so as to 
ensure the cache is flushed.

There may be some point to _saving_ firewall rules, but I see no point 
in explicitly _removing_ the rules.
