That was certainly a funny idea! Neat.
Personally I think that using Fedora is better experience in trying
systemd (after all, it has many other aspects like managing system
settings with timedatectl/localectl/hostnamectl/etc instead of files in
/etc/sysconfig, which might not work as before in systemd-based system),
but this is an interesting approach.

I checked this rpm, no surprises or malicious code (really, I suggest
everyone to check scripts of rpm package and all the files before
installing it when downloading some totally random rpm off the net -
fortunately, it's pretty simple in this case).

As for the actual script, it has problem parsing xinetd-based services.
Check out partial output of chkconfig --list:
wpa_supplicant  0:выкл  1:выкл  2:выкл  3:выкл  4:выкл  5:выкл  6:выкл
xinetd          0:выкл  1:выкл  2:выкл  3:вкл   4:вкл   5:вкл   6:выкл
xl2tpd          0:выкл  1:выкл  2:выкл  3:выкл  4:выкл  5:выкл  6:выкл
ypbind          0:выкл  1:выкл  2:выкл  3:выкл  4:выкл  5:выкл  6:выкл

службы на основе xinetd:
    chargen-dgram:  выкл
    chargen-stream: выкл
    daytime-dgram:  выкл

What we get with systemctl list-unit-files?

wpa_supplicant.service          3:выкл
xinetd.service                  3:вкл
xl2tpd.service                  3:выкл
ypbind.service                  3:выкл
службы.service                
chargen-dgram.service           
chargen-stream.service          
daytime-dgram.service           

Obviously it won't be able to manage xinetd services with "service
start/stop" so it might be beter to skip them from output, and
службы.service is a parsing error for trying to parse header of "xinetd
based services". It assumed for some reason that everyone is using
english locale. Duh. It should've set LANG=C if it wants to parse based
on english string!
