To add something actually constructive... someone could propose that
services which don't have systemd unit files don't ship for F16 (Probably as
part of the http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Features/SysVtoSystemd )

That is an idea that has pros and cons.  The major pros are that it means
that users will have a more consistent experience with reconfiguring the
on/off state of their services and we'll be forcing people to add systemd
unit files rather than just letting proposed changes just sit around in
bugs.

The cons are that we may lose some services for F16 because the services
aren't ported by the F16 deadline.  However, they could be brought back
after F16 is released so that's not a huge con.  We'd need to make sure that
the "essential" services are ported over, but IIRC, that's already the plan
for the alpha release.
