I could thought only of one thing that could be a problem, tracked it
down and then found out it will not be an issue.  So I think this is
fine.

Out of curiosity, what scenario did you have in mind?


One thing that makes different sense to me every time I read it is the
way the presets override themselves.  The wording from
systemd.preset(5) is a bit confusing sometimes, but I read it again and
properly and found out everything is fine.  Don't worry about it =)

To be honest I've only verified that this works correctly with my new
macros, which at this point of the series are not yet used. I'm
fairly confident the same applies even to the standard macros, but
I'll check that too for completeness' sake.


It'd be nice to get some real-life testing, but issue that this is
trying to fix is not going to manifest in rolling distros any more
anyway, that one we need to test for, but we know how.  If there's more
we'll see it in the distros for which this is actually fixing the
existing issue(s).
