Good one, at question though is again though is whether the very
communalities warrant some realignment. We want to hook into the base
schedulers and be the clearing house or umbrella to consolidate all the
ideas, such as the well defined RCFS recently introduced together with
Rik van Riel. PAGG is as stated a way of doing things outside the core
kernel and hookable schedulers have been several times rejected at the
lkml base.

One potential is to agree that the communalities are so few that it
makes sense to continue with both approaches independently.
