When a service is stopped at the time of reconfigure, it is immediately
replaced and then started.

Replacing works by unregistering the old instance from the registry and
registering a new one.  As a side effect, you end up with an instance
that’s enabled (see ‘service-registry’ in (shepherd services)).

I never thought it could be a problem.  WDYT?
