that in almost all cases this option
is not what you want. A symlink alias
in the file system is generally
preferable since it can be used as
lookup key. If a unit with a symlinked
alias name is not loaded and needs to
be it is easily found via the
symlink. However, if a unit with an
alias name configured with this
setting is not loaded it will not be
discovered. This settings' only use is
in conjunction with service
instances.</para>
