The services that are started when the respective package is installed
and the services that are enabled by default by the Fedora installer do
not need to be the same and are afaik currently not the same. There is
imho a huge difference, whether services are enabled during
installation, because afterwards one can usually expect that there are
unwanted services and whether services are enabled after the respective
package is installed long after the system has been installed.
