Well, they're not ambiguous in that they specify a script or command
that accepts certain stop/start/whatever arguments.

To put it a different way, the chances of a solution that doesn't at
least support SysV scripts in some compatibility way going into RHEL
is pretty much zero, at least for the first RHEL release that it would
exist in. And (Red Hat hat on), Fedora should generally not try and break
its downstream releases too much. Doesn't mean that the system itself
should be using this mode for any of its scripts, though.
