Right, it will be off by default next cycle and a checkbox to turn it on
or off will be added to the sound configuration dialog which is the
dialog most user look for a such setting

The guest accounts example don't work, the user directory for those is recreated at each session....
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)

Bug description:
  It was decided at the last UDS
  (https://blueprints.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+spec/desktop-o-startup-
  applications) to hide all applications that appear in "Startup
  Applications" by default.

  Each should have NoDisplay=true added to its .desktop file.

  This is an Ubuntu-only change as upstream GNOME has previously
  rejected our patch for supporting the NoDisplay key in autostart
  files.
