It is not about $customer. I am OK with a design that allows
accounting independent of control. Put it another way when I look at
cgroups, I see the following functionality

1. Accounting and feedback
2. Control

Why do 1 and 2 have to co-exist. A good case would be that we might
need just stats and might want to implement control based on 1. But if
I have to do both 1 and 2 together, how do we decide on control
values?
