Well, this is a misunderstanding how ExecStop= and friends are supposed
to work. They are supposed to do what they did on sysvinit:
synchronously terminate a service. And not asynchronously do that. We
hence don't wait for anything else then, because what is left afterwards
must be left-over processes that ExecStop= and friends couldn't clean up
properly...
