At least one other person on this ticket asserted that the backport
kernels are too unreliable for their taste. Bringing in a whole new
kernel to reenable one option sounds like lunacy to me.

I am not enthusiastic about this solution -- I would rather reroll the
LTS 2.6.32 kernels (as they appear on lucid-security) with a trivial
in-house patch that reenables cgroups, than to run a completely new
kernel from backports.

And indeed, as soon as I see a kernel USN that worries me
sufficiently, that is exactly what I will do. Until then I have
simply pinned the kernel at 2.6.32-31.
