I'm not sure what you're referring to here.
The per-task-delay-accounting patches I'd like to get into 2.6.18, yes. We've been dicking around for *years* with enhanced system accounting requirements and we now seem to have a roughly-agreed-upon way of doing that. I think we just need to get it in there and get people using it for their various accounting needs. I was planning on getting all this into -rc1 but then we got derailed by the 1000-cpus-doing-1000-exits-per-second problem.
The task-watchers patches I really like - it fixes the problem of more and more subsystems adding their little own little hooks all into the same places. But I think it's much less urgent than per-task-delay-accounting and, given that (afaik) we haven't yet resolved whether task-watchers will use a single notifier chain or one per event, I'm inclined to hold that back until 2.6.19.
