I don't think it's the code superiority that decided the fate of the two

decided. The fact is that Linus trusts Ingo, and as such he wants to merge
Ingo's code. Of course I cannot say it's wrong, and Ingo's earned this
it through years of hard work, but let's not kid ourselves and deny the
obvious fact.
I agree with you here. It's not simply code superiority that matters but a
balance of attitude and the code's corroboration with numbers. Both had
numbers to show but I think that one's attitude was preferred over the other.
I think Con was simply too frustrated after years of rejection. He could
have been more diplomatic this time round. But no matter how he'd have
done, once Ingo decided to write a new scheduler, the outcome was pretty
much already decided.
SD (and years of Con's work) inspired CFS. This is a fact. No matter how
smart and capable Ingo is, he needs inspiration to keep the good work going.
So I wish Ingo could work more closely with others and let them share a bit
more credit which would just produce even better work.
I don't see where credit was lacking. As far as I've observed, SD's author
was given acknowledgment on what he did and even got praise.
Thank you very much.
Best Regards,
Carlo
