Well, for me personally, I always prefer to fix things that are broken
and not use history as an excuse for keeping broken behaviour. It
doesn't take long to adapt to new commands and the people of the future
will never need to learn the history behind why such a quirk exists.
Anyway, I very much do not want to patch systemd to change upstream
behaviour here. If we have to work around it then someone who cares
enough can create the package as I suggested above, or take the cause to
upstream systemd and get them to change the behaviour.
