It would be nice, me thinks, if the underlying container technology didn't really care whether we had one hierarchy or seven. Let the users (such as CKRM/RG, cpusets, ...) of this container infrastructure determine when and where they need separate hierarchies, and when and where they are better off sharing the same hierarchy. The question of one or more separate hierarchies is one of those long term questions that should be driven by the basic semantics of what we are trying to model, not by transient infrastructure expediencies. -- I won't rest till it's the best ...
