In my opinion the proposal needs to be amended in the following ways:
Scope: Understanding the scope of this Change requires understanding how many programs there are that will have to be adapted to avoid getting killed. Therefore the Scope section should contain a complete list of affected packages. It would also be good to list known affected programs that aren't packaged in Fedora, as users may be using them. Currently not even all of the programs that were mentioned in the first email thread are listed. I suspect that there are more, maybe many more. How To Test: This section says only: "User processes should be terminated when a user session ends. Services which take the steps to stay around should stay around." That's how things have always been *supposed* to work. To verify that KillUserProcesses actually works, a tester needs a program that is supposed to terminate with the user session, but doesn't, so that they can check that SystemD kills the program successfully. Contingency Plan: It should be stated under what circumstances the contingency plan will be activated. If KillUserProcesses itself works as intended, but none of the affected programs have been adapted to not break, will Fedora 25 then be released with these programs broken, or will KillUserProcesses be changed back to "no"? What if only half of the affected programs have been adapted? Or all but one of them? Release Notes: Sysadmins need to be made aware that any in-house-written or otherwise locally installed persistent programs they might have will stop working, so a release note is quite important.
