Plenty of (critical) services in Debian have quite comprehensive systemd
hardening already, but I would love to see more services utilize them.
One example of a package that surprisingly does not have any systemd
hardening options – even very basic ones line PrivateTmp – is bind9 (see
bug 863841). It is after all a well-known service implemented in C and
typically internet facing!

Somehow I've assumed Fedora would have this already sorted out, but
turns out at least this change proposal was dropped:
