+        * When the watchdog logic is used for a service (WatchdogSec=)
+          and the watchdog timeout is hit the service will now be
+          terminated with SIGABRT (instead of just SIGTERM), in order
+          to make sure a proper coredump and backtrace is
+          generated. This ensures that hanging services will result in
+          similar coredump/backtrace behaviour as services that hit a
+          segmentation fault.
