CONFIG_CGROUP=y isn't a requirement for parallel boot. People have been
doing that for years without it.

And I'm not against systemd using cgroups per-se, I'm against it
mandating it. It could simply not use them and not provide whatever it
needs them for when not present.

CONFIG_CGROUP is an option, so people can say no. 

Same for CONFIG_SYSFS, udev gets highly unhappy when disabled, but init
still works and you do get a shell of some sort. If you pre-populate
your /dev with static device nodes you can actually make it all the way
to runlevel 3 the last time I tried.
