which is true

the config change *after* issue restart should not affect the already 
pending (for whatever reason) restart because this is *unpredictable* 
bahvior - if i expect that config change to get effective i would issue 
"systemctl reload" *before* the restart command

if you say that is expected behavior than all the warnings about "you 
need to enter systemctl deamon-reload because the unit file changed" are 
pointless and you could just reload automagically all the time
