Well, it's kinda built into the API for now (as pointed out by others), and it is quite systematic, since "/" simply maps to "-" when turning cgroup or file system paths into unit names. That also makes the encoding reversible which we rely on. I understand that this is inconvenient, but then again, -.slice and -.mount are not the most frequently used units, so I am not too concerned. That all said, we could actually change it, and keep compat with an alias name, however, if we do that, we really should have a very good reason, and also, we'd need a convincing encoding, that is also obvious, and reversible, and I see none for that...
