questionable feature- rcvar woes

Something is wrong with rcvar or I am just blatant.
For example:
1) Enable powerd in rc.conf
# echo 'enable_powerd="YES"' >> /etc/rc.conf
2) Launch powerd
# /etc/rc.d/powerd start
Starting powerd.
3) And stopping it.
# /etc/rc.d/powerd stop
Stopping powerd.
Everything looks fine, but when I disable powerd in rc.conf then problem
arise.
1) Disable powerd in rc.conf- comment it out.
# enable_powerd="YES"
2) Stop powerd
# /etc/rc.d/powerd stop
...silence- nothing in logs either.
What? Not even a warning message and powerd is actually running- why I have to
reboot to disable it? I know that I can stop it by enabling it in rc.conf but
what the point? Same problem when I want to start some service without
appropriate line in rc.conf. I'd prefer to see somekind of warning about
misconfigured rc.conf or at least information about what's going on in
reality.
