That was my thinking yes.

If we exclude them from /proc/*/task entirely, I'd worry that it would
hide it from some management tool and be used for nefarious purposes
(even if they then show up elsewhere that the tool wouldn't look at).

But as mentioned, maybe this is all more of a hack than what kvm now does.
