Except for the unspecified reason in usecase 4, I don't see why cgroup is in
the picture at all. This doesn't really have much to do with hierarchical
resource distribution. Besides, yes, you can use cgroup for logical
structuring and identificaiton purposes but in those cases the interactions
and interface should be with the original subsystem while using cgroup IDs
or paths as parameters - see tracing and bpf for examples.

Thanks.
