The have been a few attempts at roughly similar quotas for ext4, but
they were incompatible enough to not reuse any infrastructure like this.

Assigning the project IDs in the cgroups code sounds fine to me.  To
make peoples life's easier it might be good idea to keep the
/etc/projects and /etc/projid files uptodate even from that code.
