I am fine with collecting only the information available at "open".  I
can potentially see other Userspace Resource Constraints being built
based on the Cgroup the process is in.  For example openshift wants to 
limit the amount of email a process can send to only a few per second,
which might be able to be controlled by a relay listening on a
particular socket. Then it could change the rules based on the
Cgroup/Unit file the calling process was in.
