I reviewed it offline before Chris sent it out.

I agree with the sentiment that the non-hierarchical behavior was an
oversight, not a design decision.

The arguments against the change don't convince me: the added
difficulty of finding out local values is true for all other cgroup
files as well. This is traded off with being able to detect any
subtree state from the first level cgroups and drill down on-demand,
without having to scan the entire tree on each monitoring interval.
That's a trade-off we've made everywhere else, so this is simply an
inconsistency, not a legitimate exception to the rule.

We cannot fully eliminate a risk for regression, but it strikes me as
highly unlikely, given the extremely young age of cgroup2-based system
management and surrounding tooling.
