  This was done here:
  https://src.fedoraproject.org/rpms/golang-github-prometheus-node-exporter/c/5ad49dd6ed767d44070866d996d844dec4b5f07b?branch=f35

  as part of the fix for
  https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=2039257
  (golang-github-prometheus-node-exporter installs service unit in /etc)

  Moving the unit is fine, but rename should not happen stable release.
At least some compat symlinks/Alias= should be provided.

before it was submitted to stable.
