I stumbled on this one too, but got it fixed by giving the most cgroups
a rt_sched_slice of 1. this way they can be set to rt and then, move the
process to a group with more rt slice if there is a rule to move it there.

If the admin decides he wants to run a program that optimizes the system
better, he already made this decision.
If it is required for the user to edit a config file so one service can
run, he doesn't have the freedom to run it when it fits best.
Another, maybe more important reason is, that the most optimisations
will be on a running, not starting system. If the config must be
changed, ulatencyd for example should be started very early, while it
may do a poorly job at at. It optimises extremely good when the user is
using the computer, not booting it. If the property can be changed at
runtime, ulatency could simply be started when most stuff is up, that
would be perfect.
