I'm not totally sure, but I think that the complaints were not about
systemd-driven services. (In such a case, it's almost certainly possible
to fix it by adjusting your systemd unit definition file, anyway.)
Rather, the problem arises when J. Ordinary User does
nohup postmaster &
and then logs out. That's certainly not much of a recipe for production
services but people have been known to do it for testing --- in fact,
that's pretty much what I do every day with test postmasters. I suppose
whenever I migrate to a recent-systemd-based distro I'm going to have to
turn off this miserable excuse for a feature. I sure hope there's a way
to do so.
