Maybe. The thing is, this is going to keep happening, as more and more infrastructure migrates towards systemd. Perhaps a news item everytime it happens is unrealistic? I would expect Gentoo users to search for viable solutions by themselves, or asking for ways to solve it in the proper channels (like Silvio did).
