Sounds good!

My only concern is compatibility with existing Fedora releases. Will
the systemd preset update be rolled out to Fedora 36 and 37, or be
limited to Rawhide and future releases? We need to consider RHEL and
SUSE too.

Should we keep relationship with virtlockd.socket for the time being,
turning it from a Requires to a Wants, and only drop it once we are
confident that the presets have been updated across the board?
