and *that* is the real point of the whole issue - if one runs "adduser" 
and the user got accepted and  place it into a unit file you can't 
expect that he notices that it get ignored by a random message in the syslog

and that is proven not to happen otherwise a ton of bugs and typos in 
systemd-units whould not have made it into stable updates when at least 
packagers would read their logs properly

well and with your sort of reactions to bugreports like 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1072368 it's no wonder that 
some single warning get missed in the wood of messages
