Hi Michal,

The crucial issue at hand is not whether the LSM hooks are better
suited for the cgroup default hierarchy. What truly matters is the
effort and time required to migrate all cgroup1-based applications to
cgroup2-based ones. While transitioning a single component from
cgroup1-based to cgroup2-based is a straightforward task, the
complexity arises when multiple interdependent components in a
production environment necessitate this transition. In such cases, the
work becomes significantly challenging.

The cgroup becomes active only when it has one or more of its
controllers enabled. In a production environment, a task is invariably
governed by at least one cgroup controller. Even in hybrid cgroup
mode, a task is subject to either a cgroup1 controller or a cgroup2
controller. Our objective is to enhance BPF support for
controller-based scenarios, eliminating the need to concern ourselves
with hierarchies, whether they involve cgroup1 or cgroup2. This change
seems quite reasonable, in my opinion.
