Right! I had relied on the output of `dnf info libcgroup` to posit about 
upstream, I should read SPEC files, too. Thank you for the clarification.

Prior to the top post, I went through the Bugzilla tickets, with these 
parameters:

* component=libcgroup
* order=changeddate DESC
* product=Fedora
* query_format=advanced

and the hits dating back to 2015[fn:1] were just a dozen, none making mention 
of v2. So, I am not sure whether opening feature requests would help.  I 
cannot offer code contributions because of illiteracy in C.

By the way, what would you and (and others) recommend as a replacement for 
libcgroup-tools?[fn:2]  The WWW is not very helpful when it comes to v2, maybe 
because not so many other distributions have made the switch.

Thanks for your reply.

[fn:1] Around the time Cgroups v2 were released, [[per this page]][https://
www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/cgroup-v2.txt].

[fn:2] There are container technologies, of course, but IMHO that is another 
level of tools not really suitable for simple scripting.
