Perhaps. Observed a lovely exchange a while back where a database was being publicly shamed for producing a poor unit file (i think they actually had the unit file launch a shell script that fired up the database).

Their response given was that it was the only way for them to avoid tying their database to the systemd signaling lib.

This was counted by one of the systemd devs claiming they could just use a socket that systemd provides.

But when i poked at the documentation, the only place such a "option" was mentioned was at the bottom of the man file for said lib. And it was presented as a note on the internal workings of systemd.

And you will find warning after warning about not using systemd internals, as the devs reserve the right to change the behavior of those internals at any time.
