IIRC, about 2 or three years ago (or maybe on the 2.6.10 timeframe), there was a patch which managed to pass the interactive from one app to another when there was a pipe or udp connection between them. This meant that a marked-as-interactive xterm would, when blocked waiting for an Xserver response, transfer some of its interactiveness to the Xserver, and aparently it worked very good for desktop workloads so, maybe adapting it for this new scheduler would be good.
And it was dropped because of some very nasty side effect, probably a DOS opportunity.
