Ah, I see. I updated the commit message to hopefully read better :)

"""
    I define the usage of rt_task() to be tasks that belong to RT class.
    Make sure that it returns true only for RT class and audit the users and
    replace the ones required the old behavior with the new realtime_task()
    which returns true for RT and DL classes. Introduce similar
    realtime_prio() to create similar distinction to rt_prio() and update
    the users that required the old behavior to use the new function.
