I think you'll find something like 80-90% of the testing will be done on the default choice, even if other choices exist. So you really won't have much of a problem here. But when the only choice for other schedulers is to go out-of-tree, then only 1% of the people will try it out and those people are guaranteed to be the ones who saw scheduling problems in mainline. So the alternative won't end up getting any testing on many of the workloads that work fine in mainstream so their feedback won't tell you very much at all. -- Mathematics is the supreme nostalgia of our time. - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to [EMAIL PROTECTED] More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
