If this was a legacy sysv init script in F16 but got migrated to native 
systemd unit in  F17 and you upgraded the previous set status on the 
init script is reset to what ever is the default which for the most part 
disabled ( Fesco has a list of service that have been granted permission 
to be enabled by default ),which means that users will need to "enable" 
service again after the migration. ( This behavior has been documented btw )

If this was already an native systemd unit that went from being enabled 
in f16 to being disabled in f17 after an upgrade than that most 
definitely is a bug either a packaging one or systemd one since systemd 
should preserve the enabled/disabled status of service across upgrades.
