AFAIK systemd already offers knobs to configure resource controls [1].
Besides that we are talking about memcg features which are available only
unified hieararchy and that is what systemd is using already.

Do you have any pointers to those discussions? I am not really following
systemd development.

Anyway, I am skeptical that systemd can do anything much more clever
than placing cgroups with a resource control under the root cgroup. At
least not without some tagging which workloads are somehow related.

That being said, I do not really blame systemd here. We are not making
their life particularly easy TBH.
