Those are rather specialized bits of information, useful mostly for debugging. I use cgls quite often but never had the need to use either of those… But they take up a significant amount of screen real estate, esp. when executed as root: -.slice ├─user.slice (#1683) │ → user.invocation_id: 74b0bd1258c5485eb969016384e0d06a │ → trusted.invocation_id: 74b0bd1258c5485eb969016384e0d06a │ └─user-1000.slice (#6488) │ → user.invocation_id: b0261a14fe74490d9a9d5266c52cceb6 │ → trusted.invocation_id: b0261a14fe74490d9a9d5266c52cceb6 │ ├─user@1000.service … (#6590) │ │ → user.invocation_id: 9e1fb54ad07940d8b92c33c81d169f11 │ │ → user.delegate: 1 │ │ → trusted.invocation_id: 9e1fb54ad07940d8b92c33c81d169f11 │ │ → trusted.delegate: 1 │ │ ├─session.slice (#6874) ... Let's not show them by default, so we can show more cgroups. (Also, on a terminal, we already highlight delegate units via underlining and an ellipsis, so 'user.delegate:1' is redundant.)
