Eh, I see your point, but the gssproxy.pid one still seems a little odd
to me.

I guess it's friendlier to people that don't have gss-proxy installed at
all, or want to turn it off for some reason--but then they or their
distro can fix up the unit files too.

Otherwise if we've got gss-proxy and the kernel supports it then it
should work, and if it's failing to come up in that case I'd kind of
like to know why and get a bug report like "gssproxy failed to start" or
"krb5 exports stopped working" rather than "krb5 exports are working in
some subtly different way than they did last week."
