(probably belongs on tech-pkg) I see your point, but how different is replace vs remove, pause, add in terms of the desired end state? In other words, maybe the replace action is really about config file merging, which is about if there is an old one. Also, I would like replace do do a /etc/rc.d/foo restart iff the service is running.
