Hmm, using the word "inhibit" in this context might be confusing, since
we already have this suspend/shutdown inibition framework and tools like
"systemd-inhibit", which are unrelated to this.

But what about "Prevent"? 

PreventRestartExitStatus= makes a lot of sense to me, but then again, I
am not a native speaker... Does that sound good to you, too?
