service can, because it's pretty much a 1:1 mapping. (It's currently fixed
in git; it's telling you it's using systemctl while doing the appropriate
thing.)

chkconfig is different, because it's not a 1:1 mapping, and there are
different semantics involved. I'd like to have it working so that the
automated uses in scripts/frameworks work (checking whether a service is
enabled, for example), with the realization that everything it's used for
isn't going to be supported.
