I'm greatly relieved that somebody is taking the time to sit down and figure out the places that are necessary to add the hooks so that this can be neatly encapsulated. To me, that's far more interesting than the actual scheduler changes itself. I've always wanted to try out a variation of a table based scheduler, but the existing one was so well entrenched all over the place that it wasn't funny. I know lots of other folks want to tinker with this stuff too, but nobody has seriously proposed (that I remember seeing) doing the encapsulation without imposing their new scheduler as well.
