Me too (hi Warren), and I find it amusing to tweak init not to do bad things to the poor system instead of tweaking the system to thwart bad things that init, and some less well-bred processes, might inflict on it -- incidentally or not. OpenVZ does pretty decent job at being actually useful (I run it on every server I'm responsible for, and I've worked with LXC as well).

OTOH upon reading the CPU modaliases snippet I've been jumpin' and crying "yes, yes, this one" :)
