IMHO, the above statements are all plain conjectures. How could you assert
that the kernel development process is without human development?
If you've followed the list for a while, you'd realize that the list is
very human. The fact that flames fly and abound, and the fact that
individual persons tend to be very strong with respect to their opinions
indicate that there is a rather high level of human dealings that happen on
the list.
And I think you are digressing from the main issue, which is the empirical
comparison of SD vs. CFS and to determine which is best. The root of all
the scheduler fuss was the emotional reaction of SD's author on why his
scheduler began to be compared with CFS.
We obviously all saw how the particular authors tried to address the
issues. Ingo tried to address all concerns while Con simply ranted about
his scheduler being better. If this is what you think about being a bit
more human, then I think that this has no place in the lkml.
We've all heard the "show me the numbers" argument, and as far as I can
see, CFS now fairs much better than SD.
That's the issue. The best one will emerge to be at the top. From several
months of tests and improvements, it seems CFS is emerging to be the better
scheduler.
