Progress need variety (The Dawn of Haiku OS (Spectrum))

Fixing bugs in I/O scheduling can be fixed by running a updated kernel that has a fixed I/O scheduler. Nothing magical about it. It's not a easy problem to solve, but it seems very possible.

> But there is no progress without variety; if somebody do not try something different, there will never be something different; so, i think the Haiku OS people deserve praise for trying, even if you think their effort will not produce anything directly.

I don't think anybody deserves praise just because they like to hack on a toy OS. I certainly hope, though, that they get out of it what they are seeking and have fun doing it.

Just like people screwing around with GNU/Hurd, ReactOS, Mini, Debian GNU/kFreeBSD, or any other number of vanity OS projects. I am sure it's all very much fun for them.

Correcting people is not a sin. And I fully expect that the actual developers and people directly involved in the project actually are very knowledgeable and understand what is going on very well.

Good luck to them.
