Cool, so if I just want systemd to send a SIGTERM when OS is shutting down or when a user does "systemctl stop my.scope", and I do not need any "extra stopping procedure" (don't know what exactly this is), then I don't need to Abandon the scope. It has nothing to do then about keeping a scope when the process that initiated it has already terminated.
