ah, thanks for the information.

Now that I'm looking at initscripts, there's a few fedora-specific
services that I find somewhat dubious.

fedora-domainname - is that still relevant ? If yes, it should probably
live with the component that handles network identify nowadays, sssd ?

fedora-loadmodules - seems redundant and should be phased out in favor
of systemd-modules-load, I'd say.

fedora-import-state - this tries to be conditionally activated when
there is state in /run/initramfs/state, but at least on my system, it
_does_ run and import an empty directory tree :-(

$ tree /run/initramfs/state/
/run/initramfs/state/
|-- etc
|   `-- sysconfig
|       `-- network-scripts
`-- var
    `-- lib
        `-- dhclient

I guess transferring network state from the initramfs will change
anyway, with networkd ante portas...
