    Why will this be untrue for containers?

    If there are a lot of RUNNABLE (i.e. on a run queue) tasks then normal
    competition will mean that their CPU usage rates are small and therefore
    unlikely to be greater than their cap. The sinbin is only used for
    tasks that are EXCEEDING their cap.
