Agreed, but by the time I realized that the shares thing was already in
the wild. I did (probably still do) have a patch that adds a nice file
to the cgroup file.

Anyway, I think the whole proc/nice interface for autogroups is already
a tad too far. If people want control they can use cgroups, but I really
don't care enough to argue much about it.
