The 'force' seems to be in your head only. :) We are just communicating that /etc/sysconfig should be phased out, and no new work should be based on it. It should be seen as legacy. Many basic configurations formerly in /etc/sysconfig we have already move to proper /etc config files, and we might continue to do so. /etc/sysconfig is a hack and a pretty bad idea in the first place. Stuff should get native configurations as much as possible, not distro-specific configs. Some day /etc/sysconfig should be almost empty, and then we will see what to do about it, but that might take a very long time, until then there is no need to rush anything.
