OK, I'm feeling pretty stupid now, and I'm sorry for saying that named
doesn't do the right thing when starting. (Maybe I didn't have a good
reason for that anti-race logic after all!) Oh well, on the bright side
it means that a systemd unit file named can in fact be quite simple, and
I get to delete some code ...
