I like these systemd things but I always find it annoying how I have to create multiple separate files (like a file for the service and another for the timer, or similar if I need a socket file). In theory this is more flexible but in practice it's vanishingly rare that I need the same service to be accessible to more than one timer. It would be nice if there were some alternative compound format that could combine the timer and service into one.
