I can't figure out what the problem here is, are you trying to run systemd with a kernel with cgroups compiled out? I don't see how that's a show stopping bug, from the discussion there it was never supported.
This is why I don't like to talk about systemd on any internet forum; it always leads to people like you ready to attack any position around the subject, and me having to defend a position I don't even hold (I don't think systemd sucks, I think its developers could do better though). I am done with this thread.
