As some packages still lack native systemd units, users can install the `initscripts` package and use the `DAEMONS` array in `/etc/rc.conf` to start services using the legacy rc.d scripts. This change does not affect existing installations. For the time being, the `initscripts` and `sysvinit` packages remain available from our repositories. However, individual packages may now start relying on the system being booted with systemd. Please refer to [the wiki][1] for how to transition an existing installation to systemd.
