* As of Fedora 31 defaults to cgroup V2, which has full support of rootless cgroup management. Note this requires the --cgroup-manager within rootless containers to use systemd, which new containers will get by default.
* Some system unit configuration options do not work in the rootless container
* systemd fails to apply several options and failures are silently ignored (e.g. CPUShares, MemoryLimit). Should work on cgroup V2.

+ * Use of certain options will cause service startup failures (e.g. PrivateNetwork). The systemd services requiring `PrivateNetwork` can be made to work by passing `--cap-add SYS_ADMIN`, but the security implications should be carefully evaluated. In most cases, it's better to create an override.conf drop-in that sets `PrivateNetwork=no`. This also applies to containers run by root.
