I don't know. It provides more clarity the original Policy question, but raises a technical one I don't know the answer to. For my special case, is it practical to use systemd (via D-Bus) to manage system daemon start/stop when it is not pid1? If yes, things may have gotten worse (I'm responsible for getting this all to work correctly?). In that case I would prefer a statement discouraging systemd-specific features.
