Wouldn't this systemd feature add a convenient centralized point of attack to inject libraries? Not as open at the user level, but similar to a LD_PRELOAD kind of vulnerability.
Not in a way that isn't otherwise accessible, IMHO. I mean, if you're really concerned about injected vulnerabilities into high-trust software (and you should be!) you should be suspicious of any dynamic linkage at all. But if you're going to do it, doing it late and under affirmative control is almost certainly the right choice.
