Is there any real, useful, reason to define both of these? In RH/Fedora, we
don't support a distinction, and haven't since switching away from sysvinit.
As they're set up now in systemd, they're identical except for some string
output, and do not have any different handling in the daemon itself aside
from the different arguments. It seems far simpler to define one and worry
about adding more later rather than creating a reserved word/signal/target
that will live forever that may not be necessary.
