Yeah, the only irritant I know of is the cpuset API variability. It has
a backward compatibility mount option, so anything other than the user
mounting makes the API selection decision for him/her. systemd mounts
cpuset, i.e. OS component pokes OS API backward compatibility button,
breaking OS API backward compatibility for the user, who then has to
squabble with OS component over button possession if he wants his old
cpuset API using toys to continue to work.
