So I've taken a clean install from Desktop ISO and installed everything and cgmanager ends up enabled correctly and starts by default. So I believe that on my system, and others, there was an upgrade issue (perhaps a release or more ago). I don't know of anything that I did on my system that disabled cgmanager, but it was installed and disabled, I believe incorrectly. I'm not sure how we could reproduce that though.
My advice would be to leave the cgmanager portion as Incomplete until someone can come up with repo steps, but unfortunately I don't have those. Just some ideas. I have shown that a clean install doesn't have this issue.
