Given that there's already cgroup_disable=pressure for cases which want it
fully disabled, I'm not sure we'd need to add more complex disabling
options. The only difference that'd make is for users who are configuring
cgroups manually which is pretty rare and it'd create a clear downside of
increasing confusion as the base assumption becomes dynamic. So, I think the
current default-on with opting-out is and will be just fine.

Sounds great.

Thanks.
