What makes you think the 'initscripts' package is superfluous? 1) The 'initscripts' package actually contains all the fedora-specific systemd units - there are, in fact, no SysV init scripts in it. 2) If it was *actually* superfluous, it would be formally obsoleted by another package, and it wouldn't be downloaded by fedup.
