@kernellogger @LWN It's on the front page now, took a bit for the signed tag to propagate due to timezone differences...

@kernellogger @LWN never thought that the switch to the EEVDF scheduler would happen that fast. Nice.

@bitpirate @LWN

yeah, but I suspect we'll see some regression reports about in over the next year or so; hopefully none of those will be really bad.

Ohh, and unless I'm missing something the latency-nice stuff is not yet in, wondering when work on that will start again

@kernellogger @LWN A completely new scheduler without any regressions would be nice, but so would winning the lottery :D

sure, but if there are really bad ones things might become ehh... let's call it "interesting" due to the "no regressions rule"… We'll see, hopefully things will go smoothly.
