Comment (by intrigeri):
It certainly would be interesting to understand why tor packagers for
major Linux distros seem to have independently reached the conclusion that
maintaining their own unit file is a better solution, for themselves and
their users, than collaboratively maintaining this unit file upstream.
But until there is clear interest to do this work, IMO we should not be
distributing a file that's unmaintained: doing so is a disservice to our
users — unless the file is actually already working perfectly for some
relevant usecases, e.g. might it be that Arch Linux ships it as-is, and
that's why nobody modifies it?
