As said, the series is very hard to review like this. Having it in a better split and more 'focused' (i.e., less massive killing/renaming) would help (me) a lot! > At a minimum this would put the series in a good state so that, if it wer= e > upstreamed, RT-Xen and/or DornerWorks could easily patch against the sche= duler > to add the additional features discussed.

Thanks, >=20 Really, it would be super-cool.
