Why would you do that?

user@.service automatically pulls in user-runtime-dir@.service which
is responsible for creating that dir with right perms.

is 504 a system user? or a regular user?

systemd generally assumes the boundary between system and regular
users is between 999 and 1000.

But user@.service is really just for regular users, not system users,
hence my question.
