Hi,

I've been following this thread and the cpuset controller being enabled on
cgroup v2 is a really important step. As one of many container runtime
maintainers this is obviously a big step for us with a lot of impact. It'd be
really nice if we could have a little little discussion just to see what the
plan is like and what sort of features are going to expose to userspace. This is
all a very rapid development which is good. I'd just like to make sure to know
what we're in for. Sort of like what we did last year at Plumber but less
offical and without microphones and the overhead of having hundreds of people in
the room. :) Also it likely be way more relaxed given that a lot of the problems
dicussed back then seem to have been resolved.

CCing Serge and Stéphane. :)

Thanks!
Christian
