Does the new sane cgroupfs behavior even have a single real world user?
I always thought it isn't stable yet.

Linux distros currently use systemd v210. They don't dare to use a newer one.
Even *if* systemd would support the sane sane cgroupfs behavior in the most recent
version it will take 1-2 years until it would hit a recent distro.

So please support also the old and nasty behavior such that one day we can run current
systemd distros in Linux containers.

Thanks,
