It's exactly from the systemd takeover.  Traditionally a system upgrade
would preserve your sysv "chkconfig" settings for which services to
autostart, but there is a specific policy in place to not do that when a
service is transitioned to systemd.  The reasoning was that in many cases
the configuration mechanisms are changing at the same time (for
instance, postgresql no longer pays attention to /etc/sysconfig/) and
autostarting a possibly-now-misconfigured daemon seemed like a bad idea.
