I remember Linus was ok to > change the default scheduler rapidly (the discussion was about sd at > that time) to get more testing than in -mm. > It would seem that a number of us are testing the variants and reporting results (I now have to pull all the new versions and redo stuff, but I have a new test I'm going to run as well).

There appear to be enough testers to be driving evolution now, authors may disagree, of course.
