I realized that when I set the CPUShares attribute on any unit, systemd
mirrors the whole cgroup tree into the cpu,cpuacct tree.

However, in the past, it was mirrored regardless of such setting. This
had the benefit that CPU was equally distributed among services, not
among processes. That benefit is now gone if I choose to not configure
any cpu settings.
