+Subject: [PATCH] Remove obsolete target 'syslog' from systemd service
+ definition
+
+Declaring After=syslog.target is unnecessary by now because syslog is
+socket-activated and will therefore be started when needed.
+
+Having network.target is enough, and that is e.g. how the MariaDB systemd
+service defines it.
+
+This change is safe on the Galera 4.x branch since it most likely will not
+target very old Linux distros anymore.
