As a high-level comment, I don't think 'cgroup management' is a very
compelling rationale for an end-user graphical tool.

For most people it will be much better to expose cgroup information in
the normal process monitor. For people who want to use the specific
cgroup functionality of systemd, it will be better to have that
functionality available in a new service management frontend.

The only role I could see for this kind of dedicated cgroup UI would be
as a cgroup debugging aid, but is that really worth the effort,
considering most cgroup developers probably prefer to use cmdline tools
for the that purpose ?
