This scheduler takes advantage of sched_ext which is a relatively recent kernel capability. I really thought that EEVDF was the last word on scheduling in Linux, at least for the short-medium term.
Apart from trolling I am really curious what other useful functionality sched_ext enables. One of the primary reasons CFS was replaced with EEVDF was because it has a better set of defaults which don't require tuning / patching which is exactly what sched_ext simplifies.
