BFS Posted Oct 26, 2011 19:41 UTC (Wed) by corbet (editor, #1) [Link] The BFS author is not interested in creating a general-purpose scheduler, and he is not interested in working with the development community. It is not surprising that his work is not on the agenda at a meeting like this.

BFS was announced in 2009, that's ages ago at kernel development time scales. Mainline scheduler developers already analyzed and discussed it back in those days, made some improvements to CFS and moved on. It's simply not relevant anymore.
BFS wasn't "superior in all regards", don't expect that from the mainline scheduler either. Every heuristic algorithm will be better in some cases and worse in others.
