Firstly this link is broken and then the last comment I gave in Thomas's
thread was that he doesn't need this routine anymore. And so your scheduler
work is the only user of it.. And so probably we should get this included with
the scheduler patches only, isn't it? Just including them without any user
wouldn't benefit..

Or am I missing something ?
