True.  But when pressed on his aesthetic objections to this implementation,
he did not offer an alternative that did not suffer from wrong interface
semantics.  I don't think it's reasonable to hold this up indefinitely
waiting for a systemd user to design a solution he's happy with for upstart.

There has certainly been a lot of discussion, but most of it touched on
things which can/should be dealt with outside of policy.  Nobody has
suggested any concrete changes to the policy language in response to that
discussion.

The only post-seconding change was a bugfix to a code example included in
the patch.
