Description Marcel Kolaja 2016-08-19 08:31:29 UTC 
This bug has been copied from bug #1331667 and has been proposed
to be backported to 7.1 z-stream (EUS).
Comment 6 Frantisek Sumsal 2016-08-22 13:08:57 UTC 
Due to the extent of systemd and our internal test suite, the next RHEL 7.1.z batch update (which is tomorrow) is really out of scope for us. If the customer needs a supported fix ASAP, the only way is to request a hotfix.

Thank you for your understanding.
