Legitimate emotional reaction for being locked out of the development process. There's a very human aspect to this, yes, a negative human aspect that pervade Linux kernel development and is overly defensive and protective of new ideas.

That's highly inaccurate and rather disrespect of Con's experience. There as a policy decision made with SD that one person basically didn't like, this person whined like a baby for the a formula bottle and didn't understand how to use "nice" to control this inherent behavior of this scheduler.
