I was talking about the quotaon and quotacheck *binaries*, which are
part of the quota package.

moving that functionality out of the init scripts and into the binaries
but still keeping the sysv init scripts for non-systemd systems wouldn't
create a mess. Actually, it would make the sysv init scripts much simpler

I didn't mean systemd upstream here, but quota upstream.
If it is useful functionality, I would at least try to get it upstream.

Cheers,
