At least for cpusets (the mother of all containers), notify on release is part of the user visible API of cpusets. The kernel does not remove cpusets; it runs a user program, /sbin/cpuset_release_agent. That program might choose to rmdir the cpuset directory, and/or do other actions, like notify a batch scheduler that one of its cpusets was released. That API is not as sacrosanct as some, but it is working, and I wouldn't want to break it without good reason. -- I won't rest till it's the best ...
