Systemd v259 has been released, delivering one of the most wide-ranging updates in recent cycles while preparing users and distributions for more disruptive changes planned for v260.
Support for legacy System V init scripts has been formally deprecated and scheduled for complete removal in systemd v260. Components such as systemd-sysv-generator and systemd-sysv-install are now on borrowed time, and projects still relying on SysV scripts are explicitly urged to migrate to native systemd units.
Alongside this, systemd has published its intent to raise minimum dependency requirements in v260, including Linux kernel 5.10, glibc 2.34, OpenSSL 3.0, and Python 3.9.

After all this time. It took too many years to see those sysv compat things go away.
