Hello Danny,

Because I wrote that module, forgetting to add a plural to
'kernel-module-loader-shepherd-service' and when reading the dnsmasq 
service code
I was made aware of it.  It's either that patch or a stupid typo one to 
go from
'kernel-module-loader-shepherd-service' to 
'kernel-module-loader-shepherd-serviceS'.

There are currently 14 other services that are using that pattern.

Maybe, but I don't see the point of doing so as I expect that if the 
procedure's
name is plural and return a list there is no need to change it.
