sys-apps/systemd-256 is now "refusing to run under cgroup v1". This effectively means that if you upgrade sys-apps/systemd on your system, but have dracut initramfs built with sys-apps/systemd[cgroup-hybrid], your system no longer boots. Which kinda sucks. (You can workaround that by retyping a very long kernel command-line option, and then suffering 30 second delay, but I think hardly counts as a solution.) We really need some kind of migration path for this. Or at the very least a warning telling people how to proceed because it's completely non-obvious where "cgroup v1" comes from there. We also need to check how prebuilt initramfs was built for dist-kernel, and if we need to build new kernels for this.

Maybe it makes sense for the systemd ebuild to call dist-kernel_reinstall_initramfs on (major) version upgrades? Even when there is no breaking change like in 256, there is a lot of systemd that goes into the initramfs. Of course that does not resolve this issue for folks who are not using the distribution kernels. > We also need to check how prebuilt initramfs was built for dist-kernel, and if we need to build new kernels for this. We don't enable the cgroup-hybrid flag there, and the default is off. So we should be fine, I can test it later to be sure.
