Yay!  Glad to see you and the other upstream guys got this implemented.

I know some people were talking about making systemd unit files for
a significant subset of services one of the features for F15.  I do not,
however, see a Feature page (even an incomplete Feature page) for that yet.

Would someone who is working on that care to say if that's still an idea for
F15?  If it goes through, we'll want to document what service postgresql
upgrade does for people to run (or turn it into a /usr/bin/ script) since
we'll be moving away from the sysvinit script.

(Also, we should either make a new Feature page for porting services to unit
files or we should make explicit that we're undertaking that task if that's
the plan for F15).
