This is not saying it'll stay that way forever. (It WILL stay that way for
7.0.)
There have been a couple of problems with the initial move. Among other
things, rpm needed some really ugly kludges to be able to handle replacing
a directory with a symlink (quite a bad idea in many other
situations) and some people who do not work with other unixes complained
about the "mess" in /etc caused by the move.
We have /etc/init.d symlinks so if you do what you do in other unixes,
it'll work. (We've just reversed the situation).
