And? What's new?

Agreed: if sched_ext turns out to be used ONLY by closed-source vendors then it shouldn't be merged. But that seems rather unlikely, doesn't it?

Maybe the same policy as with DRM drivers should be applied here. Give me some useful BPF programs (not just toy schedulers) that I may be interested in running, and then I may merge the code needed to run them. That's the safe bet, if you require that you already vanished the possibility of those magical cool schedulers never coming to the wider public.
