The potential problem I see with changing the default behavior of
systemd is that it is non-intuitive and could be potentially harmful
if the user is not aware of it. Consider the following example. I
routinely use screen when I connect to the systems I manage remotely
specifically when I try to apply updates. I do this because if my VPN
connection or my Internet connection is interrupted, the update
process will not die with my login session. Incidentally, I learned
to use screen when applying updates the hard way many years ago when a
killed update wreaked havoc with a system of mine and I found screen
to be an excellent solution.
Yes, and to make things worse, many systems with elevated
security/sensitivity enforce idle session timeout that just looks at
keyboard activity---so they tend to abort long-running jobs, such as
updates.
