Current Beta2 of Red Hat Enterprise Linux has CFQ scheduler too so it seems to be more liked by vendors at this time.

Well, distro's could make simple applet to change i/o scheduler.

And later on users depending on their workloads can choose whatever they want.

But it is rather nice that Linux got two that good i/o schedulers ;)

I've always wanted my box to have a CFQ disk scheduler. The current high latency drives me up the wall. It's just silly. I don't even care if throughout drops somewhat, I want my box to *respond*.

Fedora Core also uses the CFQ as the default I/O scheduler
