Basing the packages for 7.2 on 3.0.7 or 3.0.8 would be a good idea. From 3.0.8 onwards 3.0.x will mostly bugfix only, as demonstrated by the feature to bug ratio in the changelog :).

That's pretty normal for rpms that install daemons? Or i'm assuming so... If it's not we can fix it. The unit file was a recent addition.
