That could even be seen as a pro actually.

If a package makes it to F16 with a sysv init script, it can't be ported
to systemd before F17.

With what you suggest, a package that has been blocked in F16 could then
be brought back once ported anytime **during** F16, so users could
benefit from it earlier.
