In older versions of systemd we also applied a start rate limit, but the
parameters where not configurable. In fact this worked pretty much
exactly like in sysvinit, where the start rate limit was hardcoded too,
and could not be turned off. In newer versions of systemd you can now
turn the rate off or change the parameters, but that's all, the basic
logic always was in place.
