So.. you're seriously complaining that different OSes are... different?

chkconfig only tells you if something is enabled; not if it's actually 
running.  It doesn't handle dependencies and doesn't make sure if things 
are in a sane state.

And it certianly doesn't make sure the application scripts do the right 
things, track errors and otherwise ensure your dependencies are 
actually running (or shutting down) properly.

As I've said, systemd isn't perfect.  But it's considerably less awful 
than what it's replacing.
