I guess what I'm saying is, the problem is far from solved, however your
concrete results demonstrate you've got an intuitive grasp of how to go at
it. I'd like to dig in and find out what the deep issues are. As I've
basically ignored scheduling up to now, including all of the details of
Ingo's work, there's some background to fill in. Being lazy, I'd prefer to
read somebody's detailed [rfc] instead of going through the process of
reverse engineering it myself. I presume I'm not the only one.

Regards,

Daniel
