this wisdom is a little too late and should have been there before
forcing the switch - no as we have systemd if we want it or not
it must not take years to get all services converted

hopefully the next time a big change like i fear wayland will be
is introduced this wisdom comes BEFORE release

give out a notice or somewaht else if a package brings a new
systemd-service but stop tell us we have to wait until F17 or F18
to get the state which should have been for F15
