* Memory protection directives can now take a value of zero, allowing
explicit opting out of a default value propagated by an ancestor.
+ * systemd now defaults to the "unified" cgroup hierarchy setup during
+ build-time, i.e. -Ddefault-hierarchy=unified is now the build-time
+ default. Previously, -Ddefault-hierarchy=hybrid was the default. This
+ change reflects the fact that cgroupsv2 support has matured
+ substantially in both systemd and in the kernel, and is clearly the
+ way forward. Downstream production distributions might want to
+ continue to use -Ddefault-hierarchy=hybrid (or even =legacy) for
+ their builds as unfortunately the popular container managers have not
+ caught up with the kernel API changes.
