Ordering it after the default target should suffice.

In Fedora we still support rc.local we just dont ship it by default so 
if you want/prefer the old behavior.
you only need to create it and set it up correctly as in

# echo '#!/bin/sh' > /etc/rc.d/rc.local && chmod 755 /etc/rc.d/rc.local

and systemd will pick it but it wont give you the same flexibility as 
native systemd units can do.

Out of the four forum samples in comment 2 on this bug, 3 of the forum 
post ( from the look of it ) are workarounds for genuine bugs and one 
should belong in a rule-*/route-* files under /etc/sysconfig/network 
which would be picked up by networking scripts ( given that suse 
networking scripts support that ) .
