Yes, they will.

We probably should split the cgroup stuff out into a separate man page
"systemd.cgroup" or so, similar to the way we already have
"systemd.exec" and "systemd.kill". Note that the cgroup properties are
not only available for slice units but also for service and scope units
(and mount, swap, socket, i.e. everything that forks of processes).

service, socket, swap, mount units all need to reference systemd.exec,
systemd.kill, systemd.cgroup.

scope units need to reference only systemd.kill and
systemd.cgroup. (they do not have any of the settings listed in
systemd.exec, since the processes they contain are created by somebody
else, and hence the settings cannot be applied anymore.)

slice units need to reference only systemd.cgroup. (they contain no
processes directly).

I figure both systemd.slice and systemd.scope will have very short man
pages...
