cgroups is changing, and libcgroup will soon be obsolete. http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/systemd/ControlGroupInterface/ Tejun has announced that he is changing a lot of things about cgroups and it will be managed by a single manager which will be systemd. (and presumably something else for non systemd distros). Once I am clear of the exact changes, I will probably update the library so that non-systemd distros have something, but I think it would probably be better to try to be feature compatible with systemd.
