No. I am planning on adapting the VM and scheduling subsystems to use the resource accounting stuff when that gets integrated, however.

Indeed. The new VM will be integrated with beancounter, not the other way around.
Beancounter is a definite 2.5 issue and as such I make sure not to rely on it in any way at the moment. Also, page replacement should not be coupled to the beancounter stuff in any way, only the anti-thrashing mechanisms (like swapping) and page allocation should be.
