I think the latter is nicer. After all we aren't sysvinit, so I'd prefer
not to claim we were in the C sources. Also note that at least in the
Fedora shutdown scripts we already set RUNLEVEL=0 via the Environment=
option, so if INIT_VERSION is necessary it probably makes sense to place
it in Environment= too.
