    Why is this an important feature for beancounters? All the other
    resource control approaches seem to prefer having userspace handle
    removing empty/dead groups/containers.

    Why is depending on a feature like configfs worse than depending on a
    feature of being able to extend the system call interface?

    That's fine - some people don't want total isolation. If we're looking
    for a solution that fits all the different requirements, then we need
    that flexibility. I agree that the default would probably want to be
    that the groupings be the same for all resource controllers /
    subsystems.
