Is hdparm a service?  They both perform the same sort of function -- run once at
boot to tweak various interface settings of a physical device.

If someone has installed this package, then either they know what they're doing
(and can find README.fedora), or they don't and this package shouldn't try to do
anything with their system.  If they do, they're still going to have to
configure it based on the particulars of their hardware, so the amount of
user-work is the same either way.  The package-supplied README is quite detailed
in the particulars of the proper use of the program.

A full-blown sysv-style service wrapper around would turn this very simple
package into a much more complex beast, with addtional scripts, documentation,
additional bits in the spec, etc, than it warrants.  It introduces additional
complexity at a net of questionable benefit -- especially when we consider that
this package, while useful to those who need its functionality _now_, is
predestined to have a very limited lifespan.
