Hello, Peter, Glauber.
(I'm gonna write up cgroup core todos which should explain / address
this issue too. ATM I'm a bit overwhelmed with stuff accumulated
while traveling.)

It's more than that. One may not want to apply the same level of
granularity to different resources. e.g. depending on the setup, IOs
may need to be further categorized and controlled than memory or vice
versa.

It does in the meantime but I think most of it can piggyback on the
existing css_set mechanism. No matter what we do, this isn't gonna be
a short and easy transition. More than half of the controllers don't
even support proper hierarchy yet. We can't move to any kind of
unified hierarchy without getting that settled first. I *think* I
have a plan which can mostly work now. I'll write more later.
Thanks.
