Here's the problem, *a lot* of folks can do scheduler development in and
outside community, so what's with exclusive-only attitude towards the
scheduler ?

There's sufficient effort coming from folks working on CFS from many
sources so how's sched-plugin a *threat* to stock kernel scheduler
development if it gets to the main tree as the default compile option ??

Those are the core question that Con brought in the APC article, folks
are angry because and nobody central to the current Linux has address
this and instead focused on a single narrow set of technical issues
to justify a particular set of actions.

I mean, I'm not the only that has said this so there has to be some
kind of truth behind it.
