and as i do this before i tell other people software
i developed is ready i demand this sort of optimiziation

especially as i do not enforce people to use my software
systemd-developers did with F15 and no, please do
not come with "use another distribution" or any such
laughable phrase

that may be correct in many cases

in the case "systemctl restart/stop/start is mostly used for
services" it is a silly argument for ".service has to be
typed all the time"

perhaps the author sould have finished his software
before F15 or deleayed it for F16 at all

with F16 systemd feels usebale
the version in F15 was poor crap from the user point of view

i guess few people are using more aliases and scripts as
i do for years now - but it is poor software-design need to do
this every where because banana-software is called "release"
