we (Linux-VServer) call that resource accounting, and
it is the first step to resource limits ...

ATM, yes, and there is no real harm in doing so
this would be a problem for resource containers,

allow to further restrict the existing resources
(which might cause some trouble if existing limits
have to be changed at some point)
