As you write, it's not fatally broken and it may be "just" an issue of container images that got no fresh rebuild. (And I think it should be generally discouraged running containers with stale deps in them.) The original patch would mainly serve legacy userspace (host) setups on top of contemporary kernel (besides API purity reasons). Admittedly, these should be rare and eventually extinct in contrast with your example where it's a containerized userspace (which typically could do no cgroup setup) that may still have some user demand. So, I'd be more confident with the revert if such an adjustment was carried downstream by some distro and proven its viability first. Do you know of any in the wild? I appreciate your report, Michal
