I agree with this criticism.

If we do this then things will break if we add new functionality to
xencommons.  We would have to ask contributors who added new code to
xencommons to update the systemd unit files.  Those contributors, and
we, might not be able to test them (or alternatively wouldn't test the
sysvinit scripts).

Perhaps, until there is some way to generate all of this configuration
from a single input, it would be best for the upstream tree to
continue to provide just sysvinit scripts.

Thanks,
Ian.
