I'm struggling to see the benefit here.

For a taskgroup A: Why setting A/cpu.idle=1 to force a minimum A->shares
when you can set it directly via A/cpu.weight (to 1 (minimum))?

WEIGHT cpu.weight tg->shares

3 0 3072

15 1 15360

1 10240

`A/cpu.weight` follows cgroup-v2's `weights` `resource distribution
model`* but I can only see `A/cpu.idle` as a layer on top of it forcing
`A/cpu.weight` to get its minimum value?
