Indeed, more context is given in the bug mentioned just above that
stanza: https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=628004, in
particular Lennart's comment:
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=628004#c27
"However, it will print a big big warning if you do this, and
will sleep for 5s so that people see it. And I will ignore all bugs reported
when things don't work properly if this is used"
The README also doesn't list cgroups as optional:
REQUIREMENTS:
Linux kernel >= 2.6.30 (with devtmpfs, cgroups; optional but
strongly recommended: autofs4, ipv6)
So cgroups is "optional", but not really if you want a supported
systemd installation :)
