Unless you are offering to do that for me, for free, on all my systems, having to do it certainly does take something away.

I expect our systems to still have services running past 2020.
Generally speaking, if a service is broken to the point that it needs something to automatically restart it I'd rather have it die gracefully and not do surprising things until someone fixes it. But then again, doesn't mysqld manage to accomplish that in a fully-compatible manner on Centos6?
generally speaking if my webserver dies for whatever reason in want it to get restarted *now* and seek for the reason while the services are up and running
Then I hope I'm never a customer of that service that doesn't know/care why it is failing. I consider it a much better approach to let you load balancing shift the connections to predictably working servers.
generally speaking: there is more than only mysqld on that world
generally speaking if i restart a server i want SSH tunnels to them get restarted on other machines automatically, see below
Seems awkward, compared to openvpn.
generally speaking if the OpenVPN service on the location some hundret kilometers away fails because the poor internet connection their i want it to be restarted
You don't have to restart openvpn to have it reconnect itself after network outages.
