My intention is to make this all work so that we can support both
modes for a while, but you have to pick at boot-time which mode you
want: the unified hierarchy or the classic one. And if we pick the
former you won't get the latter, and if you pick the latter you won't
get the former.

And yeah, getting proper notifications especially for the container
case is the most important thing for me too.
