    The usual way to communicate such things on lkml are with patches as also
    happened in this case.
    It's not like Ingo had secretly developing a scheduler in parallel for
    weeks or months but.
    But I assume all the fuzz is about something else - it cannot be about
    a these 48 hours - I hope..

    Enough on this - back to work.
