Hmm ... after further experimentation, I still can't get this version of
systemd (231) to do anything evil. It turns out that Fedora ships it with
KillUserProcesses turned off by default, and maybe having that on is a
prerequisite for the other behavior? But that doesn't make a lot of sense
because we'd never be seeing the reports of databases moaning about lost
semaphores if the processes got killed first. Anyway, I see nothing bad
happening if KillUserProcesses is off, while if it's on then the database
gets shut down reasonably politely via SIGTERM.
Color me confused ... maybe systemd's behavior has changed?
