> it's an issue with systemd I wouldn't even say this is an issue with systemd. It just happens that systemd (or logind actually) is what was selected as the cgroup controller on distributions that use it. Mostly, it's an issue with Docker (and all other cgroup clients) that are currently using their own controllers. It doesn't matter one bit what the distributions chose as their new controller, the existing clients would need to adapt to the new environment. If anything, having systemd handle this has simplified their jobs significantly since they can support a huge swath of distributions capturing the overwhelming majority of user's systems by targeting a single API.
