It would be unnecessary provided that (the proverbial) someone
actually sync the file. I'm happy to forward the file, but I do not
follow neither systemd nor zsh development, so that makes me very
unfit for that purpose. I'm not so sure that the file will be actually
kept in sync.

If you insist, I will forward it, but perhaps the better result is to
just install it.
