Our "2.6 forever" policy is why we're stuck with this approach. We tried
alternative implementations in -mm for a while but like all alternatives they
need truckloads more testing to see if they provide a real advantage and
don't cause any regressions. This made it impossible to seriously consider
any alternatives.
I hacked on and pushed plugsched in an attempt to make it possible to work on
an alternative implementation that would make the transition possible in a
stable series. This was vetoed by Linus and Ingo and yourself for the reason
it dilutes developer effort on the current scheduler. Which leaves us with
only continually polishing what is already in place.
Yes. Hence my one-liner.
I still don't think plugsched is that good of an idea for mainline.
Not too many people seem to be unhappy with the scheduler we have,
so just because this little problem comes up I don't think that
means it's time to give up and merge plugsched and 10 other policies.
