It should be perfectly possible to teach "sysvinit" to do what you want; right now, it would just be more work to do so (it's not like systemd is the only application allowed to use cgroups).

"We can do that" isn't what it's about. "We've done that" is what counts.

Even if this were to happen, would distros update it quickly or is it yet another difference between all the init systems out there in the meantime? If it happens quickly, why would sysvinit get a pass on "must be stable and proven before adoption" arguments and systemd not?
