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.
