The fedora answer is its up to the package maintainer.  sgallagh pointed out
that initng (and other) init systems have been in the distro with their own
sets of scripts for core services.  Generally, if youre using the init
system, you'll choose to continue maintaining the package and create the
scripts for the core services.  If you're not using it personally, it makes
more sense for you to orphan it and someone else who does use it will pick
it up (or no one will if no one who's using it wants to put in the effort).
