That isn't working. Users are constantly running into restart and
shutdown delays. Troubleshooting this to find out what process is
holding things up is totally non-obvious. Identifying the process is
half the problem, and then getting it fixed and released to Fedora can
be months, by which time some other process is affected.
Taking a shotgun isn't going to help that. Actually, if "bad code
upstream" is the problem, you can just wait on all of that code
starting to tell systemd they want to linger to avoid getting shot
by systemd for doing something wrong.
So this whole thing becomes another abstraction layer that serves no
purpose, and just causes collateral damage.
