The intent is to get rid, completely, of the shellscripts currently in
/etc/rc.d/ or /etc/init.d/, replacing them with native systemd units.

However, it does not try to stop you from running arbitrary programs –
shell scripts or not – as part of your boot process. If you write a
unit to start /etc/rc.local or /etc/rc.d/yourdaemon, it won't complain
– you just lose some of the advantages of systemd if you run all your
daemons like that.
