It still applies. I can learn all I need about the Plan 9
scheduler in a matter of minutes, and I can read the code
without tearing my hair out. If it were to change, chances are,
someone would write a paper about it first, and it wouldn't wind
up in the tree on a whim. And it would still be easy to
understand. If Linux got a new scheduler, I suspect I'd spend at
least a week staring blindly at it before it started to make
sense, and I'd have to grep though mailing lists to learn
anything about it, aside from reading code.
