That is not as simple as that -- we lived with "simple" for long time,
but it was not covering some corner cases so we ended up using the
sd_notify, since that was the only reliable way for systemd to know the
service is working.

For others interested in this topic, there was a long discussion in bug
#2641, unfortunately without upstream solution:
