This is actually interesting topic on its own (but I am not completely 
what kernel maintainers could be realistically doing about it) -- 
userspace _strictly_ depending on _optional_ kernel features.

systemd and cgroups is a good example, but not the only one, I think. A 
few weeks ago I was struggling to boot a systemd-based userspace, to find 
out that fanotify needs to be turned on.
