I'll have to study these more. But from what I saw so far, it looks to
me that a separate tool would be needed to read taskstats and if that
tool is not taken by distros, the users would not be any wiser, right?
With cgroup (or /proc), no new tools would be needed.

That is a factor but shouldn't be a deciding factor in designing our
user-facing interfaces. Please also note that kernel source tree
already has tools/ subdirectory which contains userland tools which
are distributed along with the kernel.

Thanks.
