For me, the rush comes from RHEL8 as it is a goal to have a fully
functioning cgroup v2 in that release.

I also believe that most of the use cases of partition can be satisfied
with partitions at the first level children. Getting hierarchical
partition right may drag on for half a year, maybe, giving our history
with cpu v2 controller. No matter what we do to enable hierarchical
partition in the future, the current model of using a partition flag is
intuitive enough that it won't be changed at least for the first level
children.
