Just an FYI, I've issued    ll /run/systemd/units   and on my system that folder contains nothing but symlinks and everyone of them are pointing at files that don't exist. If these are created every boot, then what is FC36 doing wrong to create invalid symlinks?

As Jonathan mentioned in a previous reply, systemd is using symlinks for temporary data storage, like a dictionary or map depending on which programming language you're using.
I can understand systemd using symlinks for temporary data, but when the data is removed why isn't the symlink, or is it the situation that the data is not really gone, it is just being flagged as gone because it is not a directory or file?

The data isn't removed, the symlink *is* the data.
