Disagree with what? That it's a problem to basically break the guarantee
realtime SCHED_ policies have previously provided?

I mean that if some distro has turned on the RT scheduling ulimit by
default and now finds themselves with a local DoS for unpriviliged users
as a result, then either that distro should just make their init scripts
set the throttle and break the API themselves, or they should start a
watchdog at a higher priority than unprivileged user can set.
