Agreed. We should always run them.
But still, the test cases you are pointing too are missing quite a few cases

> I recently submitted BIGTOP-505 and BIGTOP-506, but we should proactively verify all our init scripts follow the LSB specification.
> This would avoid some issues where for instance third party tools get confused by the return code of some action.
> So we should add tests to ensure that init scripts follow http://refspecs.linuxbase.org/LSB_3.1.0/LSB-Core-generic/LSB-Core-generic/iniscrptact.html

> For all other init-script actions, the init script shall return an exit status of zero if the action was successful. Otherwise, the exit status shall be non-zero, as defined below. In addition to straightforward success, the following situations are also to be considered successful:
>     restarting a service (instead of reloading it) with the force-reload argument
>     running start on a service already running
>     running stop on a service already stopped or not running
>     running restart on a service already stopped or not running
>     running try-restart on a service already stopped or not running
> {noformat}
