True, but at the moment all our packages handle their restarts individually. It
is out of scope for rpm/yast/zypper to know about every package that can
potentially do something dangerous in a %post scriptlet.
So yes, at the moment the onus actually *is* on each individual tool.

We could convert this to an enhancement-level bug "when upgrading, do not
restart demons that could endanger the update".
I have a nagging feeling that this is in scope for systemd's service dependency
tracking?

In any case, if you're interested in pushing this, let's keep the bug open as a
tracker, but move the discussion to opensuse-factory mailing list.
