We are not saying that there is no usecase to disable services, but services should be configuration where it makes sense (the ubuntuone-control-panel for u1, jockey starts only once if your configuration doesn't change, im clients don't do anything if you don't have any account configuration, update-notifier can be tweaked from dconf-editor)
