It *is* an error in the installation or environment if
unit files cannot be read. In almost all circumstances,
reducing permissions on unit files doesn't introduce any
extra security because later on they are all accessible
from PID 1 over dbus. I agree that failing an assertion
is not nice from the view of the user, what about 
exit(EXIT_FAILURE)?
