In the previous version, there was one WATO rule which handled both the summary systemd service and the individual systemd services. This union led to a confusion as some configuration options had no effect on one of the two service types. This change now introduces a split between these two services. The systemd summary service has now its own WATO rule configuration. The user is required to configure a new WATO rule for the systemd summary service.
