Fixed In Version: systemd-219-19.el7_2.3 Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Previously, systemd ignored symbolic links in the /etc/rc.d/init.d/ directory. As a consequence, init scripts with symbolic links included in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ could not be started using systemd. With this update, systemd follows symbolic links included in /etc/rc.d/init.d/ to init scripts. Note that the real location of the init script must be on the partition that is mounted in the initial ramdisk (initrd).

That is planned as part of bz1285492 for rhel7.3 and for 7.2.z here in this bz, can't say more on timeframe for the 7.2.z fix.
