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(). -- Mantas Mikulėnas
