*sigh*, no. We start with a normal per task attribute, and then later,
if it is needed and makes sense, we add it to cgroups.

Also, your Changelog fails on pretty much every point. It doesn't
explain why, it doesn't describe anything and so on.

From just reading the above, I would expect it to have the range
[-20,19] just like normal nice. Apparently this is not so.
