If we don't necessarily have to "shut down" the service when shutting down, do you mean that services should just do the proper thing when sent the appropriate signal(7)? Like a uniform way of being signalled to shut down? (an analogy would be destructors in OOP)
Many of the services just simply kill the pid. The final part of a system shutdown would take care of that. The added time to run the service script and source all the functions and display words to the screen is just needless overhead.
As notting just pointed out to me - we do need to have the right thing happen for going to run level 1, though.
