Sounds interesting. I'll poke around there for testcase affairs if I
get moving on them first. I've no sentimental attachment to the rusage
patch, so if taskstats do happen to displace this, I'm not concerned.
(That said, it may still make sense to do this for the purposes of API
compatibility. I'll keep it moving along until it's all decided.)
