Within the systemd world, one can never know whether something that
has been working previously will not be removed at a whim in the next
major release.
See the discussion about EnvironmentFile which "should never have been
implemented" and "should be removed" on systemd-devel which resulted
in one side of the discussion being put on moderation (guess which one
got silenced).
systemd needs to be forked by some party with enough personpower that
removed features can get patched in again to not break backwards
compatiblity. Unfortunately, this will most probably lead to a wave of
code refactoring upstream-side so that maintaining such patches will
be harder.
