FWIW, while I'm in total agreement with what you say and the resolution,
the pm-utils hooks are what was used before systemd so there technical
was such a hack that existed in the solutions that were used before systemd.

I remember seeing various hooks here to e.g. shut down mysql and restart
it again and such like things. That particular example hasn't been
needed for me for ages, but I'm sure there are other examples that might
be more legitimate.

That said, I think Fred had patches that are applied in Suse to read
these pm-utils hooks anyway, so that might be what Cristian needs?
