CPU sys, user, idle, iowait time isn't capabilities though. That's a 
dynamically changing value. I also think the current approach where this 
is point in time sampling, because we only keep a single value, is going 
to cause some oddly pathologic behavior if you try to use it as 
scheduling criteria.

I'd really appreciate the views of more nova core folks on this thread, 
as it looks like these blueprints have seen pretty minimal code review 
at this point. H3 isn't that far away, and there is a lot of high 
priority things ahead of this, and only so much coffee and review time 
in a day.
