The other reason was that the original version of the patch also 
added a boot parameter - to enable/disable autogroups from the 
boot command line. With *that* configuration twist it made sense 
to present this information somewhere in /proc as well.

But then we got rid of the boot parameter to simplify the patch 
- which further reduced the sense of the 
/proc/sys/kernel/sched_autogroup_enabled flag - which now can 
only ever be 1.
