Quote of the week

The stuff that's gone around looks minor. It's not like they're teaching sched.c to play cpu tetris for gang scheduling or Kalman filtering profiling feedback to stripe tasks using different cpu resources across SMT siblings or playing graph games to meet RT deadlines, so it doesn't look like very much at all is going on to me.

It's pretty obvious why everyone and their brother is grinding out purported scheduler rewrites: the code is self-contained, however, nothing interesting is coming of all this. Never been for have so many patches been written against the same file, accomplishing so little.

-- William Lee Irwin would like to see more ambitious scheduler patches.
