I wanted to say "aborting Type=oneshot services," but that's what
TimeoutStartSec is for. So I was wondering what the point of this is, too.

Apparently it's for instantiated services like systemd-coredump at .service.
Why can't a service for an Accept=yes socket be Type=oneshot and use
TimeoutStartSec?
