I see the "conflict" is solved by the switching.

Do you have any more details on that? In the end, it all boils down to a
daemon/setup utility writing into the control files and it can use
whatever config files it decides, can't it?

I agree with the "global controller" configs, however, does it also hold
for "global controller per-device" configs? They seem closer to the
device than the controller. Potentially, the parameters could be used by
some other consumers in the future. (I'm not opposing the current form,
I just want to explore the space before an API is fixed.)

Thanks, I understand the cgroup namespaces are not meant to be
transparent to their members.
