[ale] One for systemd haters

I stand corrected. In a CentOS 7.5 I _do_ see a -.slice. systemctl
shows a -.mount running as well but it's not in the systemd/system dir.
Yeah. That's boneheaded.
In Fedora it's changed to slices.target. I still have -.mount and
-.slice for / mount and / slice setups but that is called by ostree-
remount.service and slices.target as both being 'after= -.mount' and
'after= -.slice'
So the very top level structure of systemd does the -.mount and -.slice
to load in the / to start everything else.
really dumb naming. At least it didn't start with whitespace.

Every time you stop a school, you will have to build a jail. What you
gain at one end you lose at the other. It's like feeding a dog on his
own tail. It won't fatten the dog.
