My favourite comment has to be: 
https://github.com/systemd/systemd/issues/11436#issuecomment-454546312

"You seem to suggest that we should never change any user visible detail. I 
think this user rule was in error, and it worked for a while by luck, and now 
it doesn't. This happens all the time."

A configuration worked by luck or was it a bug? Perhaps consulting your daily 
horoscope will let you know if your user configurations will work. Apparently 
that also happens _all_ the time. I wonder if they mean all other software in 
debian or just systemd.

Cheers,

chillfan
