AFAIK systemd is trying to stay backwards compatible at least in the
sense that upstart is. It can parse old initscripts, and there is even
a target in archlinux that will read your DAEMONS array so you can
pretend you never switched. All this other stuff is just a more
powerful option in systemd that people can move to as they're ready.
