It's fine to criticise sched_yield(). I agree that new apps should generally be written to use proper completion mechanisms or to wait for specific events.
However, there are closed-source and/or frozen-source apps where it's not practical to rewrite or rebuild the app. Does it make sense to break the behaviour of all of these?
