That's all fair. In this particular case, the LXD team is already working hard on fixing it there, so I think reverting systemd at this point would be more trouble than it's worth. I will sync with them, and if it seems like it will be a while before their fixes land for users, I will upload a workaround to override the problematic unit settings for all services.
