+Subject: [PATCH] man: using WantedBy=default.target is not a good idea
+
+We had several users, that wrote their unit files with
+WantedBy=default.target because it should be started "every time".
+But for example in Fedora/CentOS/RHEL, this often breaks for
+example selinux relabels (where we just want to do a relabel and reboot).
+
+(cherry picked from commit 67b6404b80cf8078f3d9ec6d4c2f34ac25b15077)

+Resolves: RHEL-36531
