Given that i'm the feature owner for the conversation process and got 
stressed enough when (some ) online media starting throwing false 
statements ( others more reliable and accurate and bothered to read the 
feature page ) that we would have *all* init scripts converted to 
systemd unit in F16 to the point I extended my day from 24hours to 
36hours trying to meet that goal then finding out that your the one 
spreading that false statement comes as a bit of a shock.

An statement closer to the truth is we are at 1/3 - 1/2 converting from 
the legacy sysv init script to native systemd units however all live 
media and default next next install from the dvd is done which means 
desktop installs are covered ( perhaps that's *all* in your eyes ) 
except those that might contain openvpn ( maintainer did not have time 
to look at this  ) and wpa_supplicant where Dan has yet not build the 
package containing the submitted wpa_supplicant units and we did put a 
stop on pursuing it until we hear from Dan ( Not heard if Bill manage to 
speak to him about this ) since it came to our attention that unit files 
where submitted upstream that deviated from what we had created and Dan 
had accepted and as you all know we try to stay as close to upstream as 
possible so we kinda need know from Dan what's going on and which files 
he want to package and ship.

 From the looks of the speed of converting all the legacy sysv init 
scripts to native systemd ones is progressing on, it wont be done until 
F17/F18 time frame and an complete legacy sysv init backwards 
compatibility/support could be scheduled to be removed in F19/F20 if 
it's desired I suppose.

For the record there will be no more native systemd unit files 
introduced into the release ( F16 ) after we release beta and since we 
have started composing test candidates for beta what's in the release ( 
F16 ) now is pretty much what will be in it during it's whole release 
cycle.

Thanks
