I personally think this is namespaces business, not cgroups. If you have a process namespace, an interface that works to limit the number of processes should keep working given the constraints you are given.
What doesn't make sense, is to create a *new* interface to limit something that doesn't really need to be limited, just because you limited a similar resource before.
