The biggest I can think of cgroups.

The way cgroups connect to processes instead of resources (semantically)
and the fact that controllers are different from fundamental entities
like schedulers.

Of course I don't think "What were we thinking" I remember it all too
well in that case.

I think "What do we do now that we have made this mess".
