Some time ago, we published a pair of articles about systemd programming that extolled the value of providing high-quality unit files in upstream packages. The hope was that all distributions would use them and that problems could be fixed centrally rather than each distribution fixing its own problems independently. Now, 30 months later, it seems like a good time to see how well that worked out for nfs-utils, the focus of much of that discussion. Did distributors benefit from upstream unit files, and what sort of problems were encountered?
