Doesn’t matter in mixed environments. Suse SLES11 has the service command as well but no tab completion and no package bash-completion.
So what do you think people will use in the end?
service foo <action> works across Linux distributions, with or without systemd, and does the right thing.
Of course, as long as you know the name foo. And of course foo in Suse may be an other name as in Debian (sshd <-> ssh).
