This. INI is just a configuration format. Yes, it was originally used
on Windows, by the OS itself and by various applications. But that
doesn't make it Windows-exclusive. INI-like configuration formats have
been used for various things on Linux for ~25 years (.desktop files, D-
Bus services, git config, etc.). Any tool that makes that assumption
needs to be fixed--it's not 1996 anymore.

Whether a separate MIME type for systemd units should be created is
completely orthogonal to the issue.
