I understand your need in a new notifications related to cgroups,
although I would rather put it into separate module than proc connector - 
I'm pretty sure there will be quite alot of extensions in this module in the future.

But if you do want to extend proc connector module, I'm ok with it, but it should
go via its maintainer.
