I didn't say that that we require one of the two. I just pointed out
that for us the first option makes more sense. Also, as I pointed out I
am happy to adapt systemd to whatever Tejun decides.

BTW, I actually believe the hierachial design of cgroups is pretty neat,
since it allows us to label things hierarchially, so that for example
user services can have their own labels all beneath a per-user label. So
for the purpose of grouping things and naming them I very much
appreciate hierarchial cgroups. For the purpose of actually applying
resource controls I care much less for it, but I still do see its
use.

PS: Awesome choice of words! I totally appreciate how you talk to and
about me. This creates such a strong urge inside of me to care about the
problems you have with systemd and fix them for you.
