--- Comment #1 from Lennart Poettering <lennart at poettering.net> ---
The problem here is that we have trouble recognizing the same ExecStart= lines
before and after we did the reload, hence we currently don't try at all.

i.e. let's say you have three ExecStart= lines:

ExecStart=/bin/foo
ExecStart=/bin/bar
ExecStart=/bin/waldo

Let's say you are now executing /bin/bar. And now you reload the daemon, but
the /bin/bar one was removed, what do you do now, at which point do you
continue? And what happens if it's /bin/foo you remove too? And what happens
when you delete all three and replace them with ExecStart=/bin/huhu?

We should probably do something about this and try to come up with a scheme
that at least most of the time manages to continue at some sane point. But I am
not sure what the best scheme here would be? Ideas?
