Parent article: Con Kolivas returns with a new scheduler

So I fire up my mail client and go to read the discussion on lkml after the announcement of this new scheduler. The mailing list seems curiously quiet and my searches don't seem to show anything up. Could it be this is currently just another out of tree patch and out of tree development?

I applaud anyone who want to wade into the dragon infested layer that is the scheduler. However I wish people would learn the lessons about the perils of not engaging lkml as early as possible.

From Con's FAQ: "Because it's designed in such a way that mainline would never be interested in adopting it, which is how I like it."

It doesn't sound like Con has any intention of trying to get it merged into mainline, or posting it to the LKML.

Pre-emptive storming off - pure genius!
