+Subject: [PATCH] units: exclude gettys from isolate requests
+
+gettys are nowadays mostly autospawned and hence usually subject to
+being shut down on isolate requests, since they are no dependency of any
+other unit. This is a bad idea if the user isolates between
+multi-user.graphical and graphical.target, hence exclude them from the
+isolation.
+
+This has the effect that gettys no longer cleaned up when
+emergency.target is isolated, which might actualy be considered a
+feature, even though it is a change from previous behaviour...
+
+Note that the one getty that really matters (the one on tty1) is still
+removed when isolating to emergency.target since it conflicts with
+emergency.service.
