When there are a sufficiently large number of sufficiently
similar types of objects, such as for example file systems,
then a 'generic container abstraction' such as vfs in the
file system case becomes well worth it, even essential.

I'll be surprised if we have enough such similarity between
cpusets and resource groups to be able to find a useful abstract
generalization that is common to them both.

But if someone finds a way to rewrite resource groups using
cpusets and can convince the resource group folks of this,
I'm game to consider it.

Just because some abstract generalizations are good doesn't
mean they all are.
