If you're using gpg-agent as a systemd user service, please use the
systemd unit files (.service and .socket definitions) that ship with
GnuPG itself.

There are a number of subtle (and not-so-subtle) problems with your
proposed gpg-agent systemd user service definition.  In contrast, the
upstream one has been fairly widely tested.

If the standard upstream service doesn't work for you for some reason,
please explain why it doesn't work for you, and report it as a bug so
that we can fix it for everyone.

While you're of course free to use custom variants like this for
yourself, please don't recommend that other people use them, because it
makes it much more difficult for the GnuPG project to support other
users.

All the best,
