Google has plenty of people actively working on various aspects of
cgroups (particularly memory and I/O scheduling) in mainline. There's
no one tasked with core cgroups framework maintenance, but there are
folks from Fujitsu and IBM (Li Zefan, Balbir Singh, etc) who have more
experience and state in the core framework than anyone else in Google
anyway.

Sounds good to me.

My guess is that by that time, so much of the task's context has been
destroyed that it comes too late in the tear-down for some/many
subsystems? Proving that guess either true or false (for all current
and future potential subsystems) would probably be tricky, though.

Probably also worth including a note in the docs:
