I do not understand your last point, where do you put the 'stuff' that
is now in /etc/sysconfig ?
It should not exist in the first place since daemon/services startup
including their environment should be define in a configuration file
that the daemon reads when started
That said environment files stored under /etc/sysconfig/ directory are
Fedora/RHEL specific making units we write for them non cross
distributable which upstream usually frowns upon and would better belong
under their own /etc/<daemon.d>/configuration directory .
