One thing I noted is that even if the slice failed to start, the slice
is still created by starting the unit belonging to that slice, and the
resource controls are still correctly applied to the slice.

Is that expected that units create slice that they belong to ?

I would have expected the unit fails to start because it couldn't find
the slice.

Thanks.
