Well, yeah, for a trivial example, imagine dynamic workload management
where you wanna restrict what a side-loaded batch workload can do on
and off peak hours.  All other controllers can do that.  It'd be a
really odd design trade-off if we make that really clumsy for cpuset
especially given that we wouldn't be gaining any actual
functionalities.

Thanks.
