Personally, I'm more comfortable with guarantees rather than limits. Specifying a limit doesn't do anything to ensure that a task (or group of tasks) gets enough cpu time to actually accomplish anything unless you specify limits on every task in the system. Suppose you have a server app that needs at least 50% of the cpu. With a guarantee, you can say "this guy needs 50%, and I don't care about anything else". With limits you have to flip it around--"all these guys together are limited to 50%, and that guy isn't limited". Seems counterintuitive.
