This is such a large scale change that it's better to make them future 
proof from the get go instead of making it a feature and having to do 
all that work in later release cycles ( one less cleanup to do in the 
long run ).

Arguable environment file reference pointing to /etc/sysconfig/$foo 
should be dropped too since admins/power users should just copy the 
relevant unit to /etc/systemd/system directory and make any changes to 
the unit there as opposed to be doing that in /etc/sysconfig/$foo file 
or daemons be (re)written to support config file(s).
