I can confirm it too.  It looks as if shepherd hangs when something
changes.  But it doesn't happen all the time.  It also happens sometimes
when configuring a home environment.  There it is not much of a problem
to restart shepherd.

But that doesn't work on a system level.  There I have to hard reset the
system.

I'm not sure about this either.  I've noticed too that the service
syncthing will sometimes hang when stopping or restarting.  This could
be a different issue with the service itself.

While thinking of it:  I don't use syncthing in my system declaration
anymore.  It move over to my home environment.  The hanging still
happens.
