I don't agree at all. There's no cost whatsoever in "turning on" a 
resource. It doesn't need to be extensible. Resources just need to 
properly modelled so that the things they represent can be properly 
compared in a quantitative manner. For example, a NUMA cell resource 
needs to be modelled in a Python object that can be compared to a 
request for a certain NUMA topology.

There was and continues to be no need to make resources extensible. They 
just needed to be properly modelled into Python objects, and those 
objects used in scheduling decisions and tracking.
