Irrelevant if it's clear or not and repeating does not change the fact that merging this into the master branch means the policy of upstream first no longer applies so it can never be used as an argument used against merging submitted code against the entire systemd codebase.

This ought have been rejected or resided in it's own "experimental" branch of the systemd codebase until they have sorted the cgroupv2 stuff out upstream.
