Umm this is derailing I think - the last time we talked as a bigger
group IIRC the realization was there there exist different "types" of
services which would eventually need different characteristics.
Some are meant to be more "always up whatever happens" (like this case
for auth) while others would want to stop providing any service like
"before its wrong I better stop".

The end of the discussion back then was that there - will be
differences - and that it might end up that one needs to identify the
different type of services that will exist and then group all packages
into one of these groups.
To then resolve any mismatch of "decision for group" vs "current behavior".

Since none of the above exists yet, so far this decision is done on a
per-package case like here.
