In the message you cite above, I proposed to hack etc-service-type in the same way we did for PAM. But then I think we=E2=80=99d better have the generic solution in place (wh= ere any service could be extended =E2=80=9Cat the end=E2=80=9D, i.e., after it= =E2=80=99s =E2=80=98compose=E2=80=99 and =E2=80=98extend=E2=80=99 procedures have been called) before people sta= rt relying on the hack. I even started working on it long ago, and then moved on to something else. I=E2=80=99m sorry that this has not happened yet. I hope to resume work on= it after the release, but if someone wants to give it a shot, I will definitely not block it. Thanks, Ludo=E2=80=99.
