+You are looking for the traditional init scripts in @SYSTEM_SYSVINIT_PATH@,
+and they are gone?
+
+Here's an explanation on what's going on:
+
+You are running a systemd-based OS where traditional init scripts have
+been replaced by native systemd services files. Service files provide
+very similar functionality to init scripts. To make use of service
+files simply invoke "systemctl", which will output a list of all
+currently running services (and other units). Use "systemctl
+list-unit-files" to get a listing of all known unit files, including
+stopped, disabled and masked ones. Use "systemctl start
+foobar.service" and "systemctl stop foobar.service" to start or stop a
+service, respectively. For further details, please refer to
+systemctl(1).
+
+Note that traditional init scripts continue to function on a systemd
+system. An init script @SYSTEM_SYSVINIT_PATH@/foobar is implicitly mapped
+into a service unit foobar.service during system initialization.
+
+Thank you!

+You are looking for the traditional text log files in @VARLOGDIR@, and
+they are gone?
+
+Here's an explanation on what's going on:
+
+You are running a systemd-based OS where traditional syslog has been
+replaced with the Journal. The journal stores the same (and more)
+information as classic syslog. To make use of the journal and access
+the collected log data simply invoke "journalctl", which will output
+the logs in the identical text-based format the syslog files in
+@VARLOGDIR@ used to be. For further details, please refer to
+journalctl(1).
+
+Alternatively, consider installing one of the traditional syslog
+implementations available for your distribution, which will generate
+the classic log files for you. Syslog implementations such as
+syslog-ng or rsyslog may be installed side-by-side with the journal
+and will continue to function the way they always did.
+
+Thank you!
