The unix way is also a different incompatible implementation of regex in every utility and a thousand interesting and dangerous modes of failure in the event of whitespace

Systemd has issues I'm sure and I don't trust poettering's software further than I can throw him but not being 'unix'-y isn't a strike against it.
