why we need retire sysvinit-only packages ?
Because they have had 10+ releases to adjust and haven't.
is not suppose systemd
support sysvinit and why don't you fixed the packages like you will do
for nagios ?
systemd does support sysvinit scripts, but it's a good deal less
optimal than a native systemd unit file for lots of reasons.
nagios has a systemd unit file. It was setup/enabled in 2013, but
recent spec file changes caused it to ship the old sysvinit script
instead. Thats just a bug.
BTW I'd like keep 2 packages noip and tetrinetx.
Shouldn't you give some time or open bug reports before do the
retirement ?
why such hurry ?
The orig ticket (
https://fedorahosted.org/fesco/ticket/615 ) was
opened 5 years ago.
9 months ago an announcement was made:

Then another 6 months ago:

We could keep putting it off, but it's had a long long ramp.
