Fedora supports and will support sysvinit scripts. This does not
mean that you can run sysvinit to start the system, but only that
those scripts will be executed by systemd.
This is necessary for backwards compatibility and compatibility with
3rd party packages. Distribution packages have been almost all converted
to systemd services, with a handful of less-used-packages remaining [1].
So yes, for all intents and purposes, Fedora only supports systemd
(as PID 1).
