It's brand new in 2.4. It's the usual LVS quality and you
could be one of the first to try it out :-) (step this way...)
Actually Thomas Proell spend most of last year working on it
- it was for his Masters thesis, and it wound up
as a patch to 2.2.17. Thomas has now gone off to a real
job, where he is being paid to code and he's too busy
paying off his debts to do anything else and it doesn't
look like he'll have time to do a patch for 2.2.18.
Wensong doesn't have money pressures like this, and being an
academic he does what he likes, so he did the port to
2.4 as the -dh scheduler.
