Well, extending struct sched_param is more than possible, I agree, but it would be a _really_big_ ABI issue, don't you think?
Especially when a 'legacy' binary comes to, e.g., a sched_getparam, and the data it gets will be bigger than expected... :-(

I was about to write about how that's not the case, but you're right: whose bright idea was it to have sched_getscheduler not take a length parameter like getpeername does?
