Comment 6 for bug 1930393

Hmm, I thought the only 'reliable' way of addressing the 'not yet active' problem was to use the sd_notify(3) family of functions to let systemd know when a service is actually ready to handle requests. I suggest proposing your patch in a Debian bug to get the maintainer's feedback on it. (A test case to demonstrate why you're proposing the change would probably help.)

As for the socket accepting both user commands and administrative commands, I think that will require a discussion with the upstreams of the various projects. It's wild to me that those things are co-mingled into one socket, but perhaps that's intentional for good reasons.

Thanks
