no, but you don't grasp that options for systemd-units as well as units itself are not only relevant for distributions or upstream but also heavily used by sysadmins and that you have *no bussiness* to tell somebody "something you do via"

you are free to do that when someone asks for new features, but not in case of a planned regression - nothing else is taking features and options away

Apache:

and now you can use the same systemd-unit on a dozens of machines and
include specific config snippets WITOUT touch the systemd-unit or
*anything* else in the apache configuration

You apparently did not read or grasp what I said earlier.

This is something you do via unit overwrite configuration snipped in
conjunction with your Apache configuration changes not in an environment
file.

this is something *i do not* with unit overwrite configuration by
intention because i DO NOT want to touch ExecStart on any machine

perhaps it's time to
start looking into obsoleting it

don't get me wrong but you sound once again like seek for changes to
break users configuration to later blame users why they did not fix
which ain't broken

You cannot be gotten right.

The follow up cleanup process in Fedora that I needed to conduct after
the unit migration was completed, would have among other things
obsoleted and removed those Fedora/RedHat specific environment files
since it became clear immediately at that time that they had been
obsoleted

cleanup whatever you want in Fedora, i don't use httpd or other server
packages from the distribution at all - by removing "EnvironmentFile"
from systemd you piss of users and sysadmins, not only distributions
