and not only in the context of udev
it is GENERALLY wrong
it is wrong to restart httpd
it is wrong to restart mysqld
it is GENERALLY wrong to cripple this in any fedora package
instead AT LEAST have this controlled by a global setting
what do packagers imagine to happen by restart mysqld on machines
where a lot of services depend on mysqld.service and randomly
failing while the admin is EXACTLY knowing what he is doing
and which services in which order he has to restart to get
a new mysqld, httpd whatever version actibe?
File a bug (or better patch) to port the services you care about to
use socket activation. That way a restart wont have any consequences
like those.
