RT_GROUP_SCHED in its current form isn't widely useful. No major distro
kernel enables it (Fedora, RHEL/CentOS Stream, Debian, Ubuntu, openSUSE,
Arch and the Android GKI defconfig, PREEMPT_RT flavors included). I have
no objection to removing it.
There was an attempt to make it more useful: the Hierarchical Constant
Bandwidth Server (HCBS) patchset from Yuri Andriaccio and Luca Abeni. It
replaces RT_GROUP_SCHED with per-cgroup deadline servers and a cgroup2
interface. The last posting was RFC v6 in June:
https://lore.kernel.org/all/20260608121546.69910-1-yurand2000@gmail.com/
The effort seems to have stalled.
Thanks.
