Not quite laughable... With all the recent discussion I was talking to a
friend of mine, and we were discussing the same idea. Although, to me,it
makes more sense to make it a compile time option, much like the network
packet scheduler... Then those who try something new will not necessarily
have thier system hosed if the kernel can't load the module.

It's an intriguing idea, and I was thinking about trying it sometime...
not that i know anything about schedulers, but hey, it's a learning
experience...
