This is my fault.  It only exists because in the early days (early
2016?) I thought it might be useful to quarantine OpenBMC applications
in their own target.

There weren't any requirements driving that and in all this time noone
has commented on its facility so I support doing the normal thing and
just putting all our units in multi-user.
