Old setting name in systemd service file about autorandr

[RasmusWL]

Just FYI, I'm on Ubuntu LTS. I'm not always happy about it, and have been contemplating going to arch, but haven't done it. So I'm happy that you'll wait for a new LTS 👍

Thanks. Do you know when StartLimitInterval is scheduled to be completely removed?

(At least Ubuntu stable does still use a version where the option is named StartLimitInterval, and putting both versions into the unit file triggers a warning for old versions of systemd, and will trigger one for versions where StartLimitInterval has been removed as well.. so renaming this once every distribution's stable release uses a version where the rename has taken place seems to be the only viable option at first glance.)

Well until a few months ago they had no plans for removal, according to a comment by @poettering.

I agree it's best to not rename it in autorandr yet.

At least in gentoo and debian the stable version of sytemd is >= 230, so I guess it's a good time to rename the setting.

Ubuntu LTS still uses 229. This isn't much of a problem on its own, I believe most users of advanced packages such as this one will use the latest release, but several forks of Ubuntu are based on the LTS releases, most notably, Mint. The next LTS release is schedules for April 2018. We should wait until then.

(Am I assuming right that you want this for cosmetic reasons, not because Lennart changed his mind and systemd dropped support for the old syntax in the meantime?)

(It is very interesting to know that Debian stable comes with more recent packages than Ubuntu LTS these days.)
