The control group interface has serious nesting problems

Presumably you mean the kernel-internal interface, not the userspace-visible interface? As far as I know directories can be nested with no problems at all. (If there are problems, a lot of people would like to know what they are!)

KS2011: Coming to love control groups

In a container context to be properly abstracted from what is outside the container you need fresh mounts for the controllers you are going to use and the ability to have a different binding of control groups to hierarchies.

In fairness Paul Menage has been looking at this a bit after I raised the issue with him at plumers conf.

James seems a little more dense and seems to not have understood when I pointed out that control groups and namespaces were not them same thing. I guess more repetition of the obvious is in order.
