To clarify: even if I use "bk clone bk://xen.bkbits.net/xen-2.0-testing.bk" to get the latest 
testing tree, I will not find sedf scheduler because it has not been included yet.

It is still unclear to me if Atropos scheduler in the above testing tree works correctly or still 
buggy as pointed out by previous posts 2 month ago.

Thanks again for your help.
