I don't see anywere that Matt was criticising Ingo's work. He just said
that it wasn't hard realtime--which is true.

A hard realtime system will *guarantee* that the deadlines will be met,
*no matter what*. It makes all kinds of other sacrifices to do it, and
it makes additional demands on the application designer as well.

I don't think Ingo would claim that his patches make Linux a hard RT
operating system.
