+  * cgroups: Fix how we setup and configure cgroups on hosts with systemd
+
+    When libvirt is running on host with systemd we register every VM with
+    machined which creates the VM root cgroup for us as well. Before this fix
+    we were directly modifying files in the VM root cgroup which was incorrect
+    because all the files are managed by systemd. The implication was that any
+    change done by libvirt to cgroup attributes supported by systemd could be
+    removed which happens for example by running ``systemctl daemon-reload``.
+
+    To fix the issue libvirt now uses DBus calls for some of the cgroup
+    attributes that distributes the resources proportionally to the cgroup
+    siblings and for the rest we have new sub-cgroup that libvirt can managed
+    directly.
+
+    For more details why this is necessary see
+    `systemd cgroug <https://systemd.io/CGROUP_DELEGATION/>`_ documentation.
