They are often configured as Type=forking because they only fork after
performing some form of initialization (e.g. dhcpcd [the client] might
fork only after actually receiving a DHCP lease), and systemd will
interpret this as a signal that the service has now started, without
having to add systemd-specific sd_notify().
