I think that doesn't even do what it says on the tin. Suppose you first
schedule that PEBS-via-PT event and then the normal one, nothing then
cancels the PT link.
Like I wrote in that prevoius email; I really don't like this. I think
silently falling back to another output method is wrong.
Ideally we create schedulig conflicts and cause the PT and DS events to
round robin.
