Largely orthogonal. This discussions is hard because Paul has appropriated our term for the user space aggregation of all of the pieces (a container) using for some subset of that, so my apologies if there is some confusion. There are a few issues with the filesystem part of Paul's patchset that currently do not allow for nested containers. Generally the Paul's container filesystem work provides a generic framework for resources controls that we want in addition to the namespaces. I'm not at all certain I like the filesystem interface to user space, but having a common interface to user space and helper code to use it for all of the resource controls makes sense. I think there is a little more like a user space visible identifier that is also interesting.
