Would it make sense to place the DBus activated nm_dispatcher.action 
into it's own systemd service?

I am currently playing around with systemd and noticed that although 
network manager uses systemd it's dispatcher process does not get that 
treatment. So I came up with this unit file:

  [Unit]
  Description=Network Manager Dispatcher

  [Service]
  Type=dbus
  BusName=org.freedesktop.nm_dispatcher
  ExecStart=/usr/lib/NetworkManager/nm-dispatcher.action
  StandardOutput=syslog
  ControlGroup=/system/NetworkManager.service/NetworkManager_dispatcher.service

  [Install]
  Alias=dbus-org.freedesktop.nm_dispatcher.service


And put the line

  SystemdService=dbus-org.freedesktop.nm_dispatcher.service

to the end of org.freedesktop.nm_dispatcher.service in 
/usr/share/dbus-1/system-services.

Now I am wondering is that a good idea? And is it fine to use a "sub-
cgroup" for the dispatcher service or is that a rather bad idea?
