We're in agreement! YAY!

Actually this is simpler than that. I'm taking SD out of the picture. It has
served it's purpose of proving that we need to seriously address all the
scheduling issues and did more than a half decent job at it. Unfortunately I
also cannot sit around supporting it forever by myself. My own life is more
important, so consider SD not even running the race any more.

I'm off to continue maintaining permanent-out-of-tree leisurely code at my own
pace. What's more is, I think I'll just stick to staircase Gen I version blah
and shelve SD and try to have fond memories of SD as an intellectual
prompting exercise only.
