That's very kind of you, I appreciate it. Indeed, it can interest some
users. I too would rather avoid to merge them, since scheduler changes
can improve some workloads and cause unexpected regressions in other
ones. However, if people insist and only report positive feedback, we
might possibly consider them. I'll definitely test them in my tree ;-)

Thanks!
