It's an old "compatibility alias" added in ~v20. (Apparently, ALT Linux
wanted to just do a straightforward "service O V" → "systemctl V O"
substitution or something like that.)

I don't know if it'll be removed or not, but as is the general rule with
everything not in official documentation, I would say _don't rely_ on its
existence (unless it was specifically added for your use case).
