+features:
+  - New variables have been added to allow a deployer to customize
+    a glance systemd unit file to their liking.
+  - The task dropping the glance systemd unit files now uses the
+    ``config_template`` action plugin allowing deployers access to
+    customize the unit files as they see fit without having to
+    load extra options into the defaults and polute the generic
+    systemd unit file with jinja2 variables and conditionals.
