Nevertheless, for our defense, let me point out that the problems

this change are obvious only in hindsight: after all new systemd versions
are only introduced in rawhide / pre-beta, and this was added in 228,
while F24 was released with 229, so systemd with this change passed
through the usual testing without people reporting the issue.
That's a reflection on the nature of the change itself though. People
don't run large, stable workloads that would hit the TasksMax limit on
rawhide. They run them on stable releases. It's a chicken-egg
situation from a testing perspective, but if there is no announcement
or heads up the change is coming then people cannot know they should
test it before it hits stable.
