Do you really think it makes sense to start screen from emergency/rescue mode?
Imho those are the cases where you don't actually want stuff to stay
around after you log out.

Well, I was intending to commit my original patch, which only uses
KillMode=mixed for services which use sulogin, i.e.
emergency.service, rescue.service and console-shell.service.

See the original bug that triggered this patch [1]. We don't really
want a stray bash process to stay around which potentially fights with
sulogin over the input.
