It's probably a question to ask the chkconfig community, I am not sure
what the difference is, and the man page is not particularly
enlightening.

Note that systemd is not invoking chkconfig directly but instead
/usr/lib/systemd/systemd-sysv-install which is supposed to do the
right thing, and it's up to the distros to make that a shell script or
so that does the right thing. hence it's entirely within the domain of
the distro/chkconfig to do the right thing, we don't control that from
systemd's side.
