Now *that* would be annoying.

It's interesting that I have been unable to find bug reports about this. 
I guess it might be kind of hard to figure which packages to file a 
report against. I can imagine there might be a bit of finger-pointing 
between the systemd folks and the developers and maintainers of the 
various packages services when unfortunate interactions via the service 
units are hard to tease out.

It is at least nice to have a way to force an errant service to shut 
down -- assuming the scheme works. I haven't experimented yet, but 
that's on the schedule for later today. I suppose it's unlikely that 
forcing a service like CUPS or NTP to shut down will lead to other 
problems. I hope.
