The sysconfig config file sets USE_AUGENRULES="no" and
AUDITD_CLEAN_STOP="yes" while the .service file is actually doing the
opposite.
I guess that the sysconfig config should be modified (even if it's a
quite minor issue)?
The idea is this, I didn't want to cause a regression on distributions. The
sysvinit scripts have been shipped forever and always expected the rule to be
in a specific place. So, its disabled so that there are no surprises. That's
because to enable it means that you got to put the rules in the rules.d
directory.
So, the thinking is that if you areswitching to systemd, there a lot different
about the system and as part of re-doing how you use the system let's just put
the rules in the right place and use augenrules by default.
Migrating between the two is not so easy. It needs to be done with intention
or you might get your rules overwritten.
