Nope, I am pretty sure I won't add code to systemctl itself to
manipulate /etc/rc.d/...

It's OK to invoke "service" from "systemctl", and that's what we
do if we are run for a SysV service. It's also OK to invoke "systemctl"
from "service", and that's also what is being done. But merging the
codebases, no thank you.
