Actually all you need to keep the user happy is that "service foo
status" returns correctly whether the service is using classic init or
systemd. systemctl does much more than the classic service command, so
the different syntax there is needed to make all commands consistent.

The only nitpick I may have is the use of foo.service instead of
"service foo", because when I query/enable/do something, I do that for
a service not for the file that defines the service. But this is mostly
a matter of semantics.

Simo.
