Yes, As I said in the v3 post of CFS bandwidth control patches, I am putting my efforts behind Paul's patches and avoiding duplication.

The posting you link to says:

"Paul's approach mainly changed the way the CPU hard limit was represented. After his post, I decided to work with them and discontinue my patch series since their global bandwidth specification for group appears more flexible than the RT-type per-cpu bandwidth specification I had in my series."

In other words, Bharata posted a version of the bandwidth control patch - not the hard limits patch which, I still believe, has not seen a revision since January of last year.

"These concerns appear to have carried the day - there has not been a hard limits patch posted since early 2010."

I don't follow your reasoning since as far as I can tell there have been later postings than "early 2010":
