+Subject: [PATCH] core/load-fragment: refuse units with errors in certain
+ directives
+
+If an error is encountered in any of the Exec* lines, WorkingDirectory,
+SELinuxContext, ApparmorProfile, SmackProcessLabel, Service (in .socket
+units), User, or Group, refuse to load the unit. If the config stanza
+has support, ignore the failure if '-' is present.
+
+For those configuration directives, even if we started the unit, it's
+pretty likely that it'll do something unexpected (like write files
+in a wrong place, or with a wrong context, or run with wrong permissions,
+etc). It seems better to refuse to start the unit and have the admin
+clean up the configuration without giving the service a chance to mess
+up stuff.
+
+Note that all "security" options that restrict what the unit can do
+(Capabilities, AmbientCapabilities, Restrict*, SystemCallFilter, Limit*,
+PrivateDevices, Protect*, etc) are _not_ treated like this. Such options are
+only supplementary, and are not always available depending on the architecture
+and compilation options, so unit authors have to make sure that the service
+runs correctly without them anyway.
+
+Fixes #6237, #6277.
