Yes. that's my request.

something like ConditionExec=/bin/true and ConditionExec=/bin/false so i 
can implement any thinkable logic outside of systemd and still maintain 
access to all features like Restart= etc.

I thought this may be an easy way to expand the already existent 
conditions (ConditionPathExists= etc.)  without implementing too many 
special conditional tests in systemd itself. (e.g. check if the current 
hostname matches some pattern - which was my original issue i tried to 
solve) 8)
