We might want to re-word that to:

SCHED_DEADLINE currently is an implementation of GEDF, however
any policy that correctly schedules the sporadic task model is
a valid implementation.

To make sure we should not rely on the actual implementation; there's
many possible algorithms to schedule the sporadic task model.
