The other reason was that the original version of the patch also added a boot parameter - to enable/disable autogroups from the boot command line. With *that* configuration twist it made sense to present this information somewhere in /proc as well.
But then we got rid of the boot parameter to simplify the patch - which further reduced the sense of the /proc/sys/kernel/sched_autogroup_enabled flag - which now can only ever be 1.
Thanks,
Ingo
