I wonder if they are discouraged by the experience of Con Kolivas[1] who proposed an alternative scheduler back in 2007. (Apparently he is still maintaining his "-ck" fork of the linux kernel[2]!) I only mention this as a historic

The private company I work for issues stock "promises" on fancy certificates. Each certificate claims to be worth X shares for an estimated value of Y. Clearly they are not stock options, nor RSUs nor anything fancy or official li

Plugins must opt-in to asynchronous job-control. There have been drastic changes to the event loop and redraw logic, which makes some operations feel "different" (some slower, some faster). We have not intentionally made any gener
