IMHO this can be added at a anytime and does not need to wait for a
new 4.x branch or so, at least compared to what kind of features have
been added to the 4.3.x branch in the past. ;-)

I wonder why the .service file is not in the upstream sources yet
since it seems to come from J.C.

Having had a look at it, I noticed that it at least contains some
distro-specific path like /etc/sysconfig/.

So, J.C.: Please try to generalise the .service file and then also
ship it upstream so that other distributions can benefit from it,
too. :-)
