just a systemd upgrade problem, not a rkt problem

@l1x It's just me at this point working on CentOS packaging but I'll see what I can do. Can't make any promises as to availability at the moment, but I'll...

@l1x TRY THIS ONLY ON A _CATTLE_ MACHINE, as I'm pretty certain it'll get b0rked. add this repo to your yum repos list: ``` [virt7-rkt-common-candidate] name=virt7-rkt-common-candidate baseurl=http://cbs.centos.org/repos/virt7-rkt-common-candidate/x86_64/os/ enabled=1 gpgcheck=0 ```...

@l1x yup, rkt isn't a part of it yet. We need to make certain the systemd upgrade goes fine and the system reboots fine after the upgrade. Have you tried...

@l1x So, if I have all my partitions (except swap, of course) under `/` and I `yum update systemd`, the machine mostly reboots fine, is ssh-able, except that the swap...

one other thing, it'd be preferable to first update your system to CentOS 7.3.1611 and then do the systemd upgrade, as a direct upgrade from .1503 didn't work for me.
