Hello

Everybody could find official answer about systemd and 2/6/32
compataibility here: https://bugzilla.openvz.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2797

I have checked systemd with openvz few _years_ ago. Specially for care
about compatibolity with upcoming centos 7.

I really want switch to rhel 7 userpace but I can't do itbecause mentioned
issues.
