Thanks for all the background... :)

I agree that an upstream systemd solution is what we should strive for.
The problem is that Fedora 39 and RHEL 9.3 are fast approaching and,
if we don't do anything about this issue before then, a subset of
libvirt users will see their deployments broken after upgrade. In the
interest of avoiding that, I would prefer to get the libvirt-specific
version of the macros merged as soon as possible, and focus on
upstreaming the work all the way to systemd as a follow-up.
Do you have a patch/PR we could look at to show what exactly these
macros look like?
Does this plan sound reasonable to the Fedora community? Are there
any serious concerns regarding the approach taken for the macros that
would cause them to be considered a complete no-go? Any scenarios
that I might have missed while implementing them?
Not sure, but possibly. :)
If for some reason this didn't turn out to be something we wanted to
ship, what does the 'manual fix' look like? Complex?
