i strongly disagree

it's the easiest way to not touch/copy the systemd-unit *and* 
systemd-snippets for just adjust a simple variable - the point here is 
simple

copy units and/or add own snippets has easily two side effects

* don't get well deserved updates for the units
* or snippets don't play well with later dist-versions of the unit

a EnvironmentFile supported by the distributions unit is well better for 
simple adoptions
