    This was my main line of questioning - what future direction will
    do the RT guys want from the PREEMPT_RT work. I was concerned that
    hard-realtime does not sound feasable for Linux.

    Actually I think that is also where we violently agree ;)
    If you look at some of my earlier posts, you'll see I had to
    add 'disclaimers' until I was blue in the face. But I don't
    blame you for not wanting to crawl through all that / or not
    seeing it.

    Basically: I know they are orthogonal, and I don't disagree
    that generally better scheduling and interrupt latency would be
    nice for Linux to have.

    Now I'll really stop posting. Sorry everyone.
