So I'd have thought the Fedora specific audit package was a perfectly suitable location for the audit changes rather than the main audit svn repo.

OIC, you were talking purely of the addition of the RefuseManualStop=yes,   Sorry,   I was talking more about the presence of utility scripts in the svn repo that are Fedora specific since they rely on Fedora systemd extensions.

Anyhow, as I said, not a big deal.  Thanks for reply.
