I guess, but how often are devices with filesystems on it relly
plugged in, I think having four lines in the journal is a good tradeoff
if the alternative is having a thread running all the time for something
that maybe happens 2-3 times per day

> Or use a `RUN` entry instead of a service...
whatever is in RUN has to be super fast, since it'll be shut down
almost immediately. Spawning a thread won't work since it'll be killed
and using the API is too "slow" eventhough it is local

sure, but again, idk if avoiding 4 lines of journal for something that
happens probably not that often justifies adding the complexity of managing
udev rules
