The proposal had a "roles" property, isn't that enough?

I would also expect the service to implement the ObjectManager interface
so that clients can list all objects and then find all roles by looking
for the org.fedoraproject.ServiceManager1.Role interface.

Well, hmm, the proposed API does also cover run-time state, so we might
get away with just using that and ignoring systemd.
