I suppose you're talking about having root group not performing any
accounting and/or control?  I suppose such could be a valid use case
(is it really necessary tho?)  but I don't think .use_hierarchy is the
right interface for that.  If it's absolutely necessary, I think it
should be a root-only flag (even if that ends up using the same code
path).  Eventually, we really want to kill .use_hierarchy, or at least
make it to RO 1.  As it's currently defined, it's just way too
confusing.

Heh, I thought I enabled all controllers.  Thanks. :)
