I don't think that's a good idea. It doesn't add anything while putting pids controller in conflict with how other controllers handle the root cgroup. Furthermore, I don't think it's generally a good idea to add things because it may help convenience in some cases, which is exactly the case here. Why add non-orthogonal component when the only reason is "yeah, it may be a bit more convenient in some imaginary cases"? We'd be restricting the design space we can move inside for no good reason.
