Maybe that doesn't match reality. I remember reading an article by some 
guy who wrote lots of patches for the scheduler and finally rewrote the 
whole thing.
It proved to perform better than the original scheduler and many people 
were using it, yet it never got incorporated into the mainline kernel.
At some point some other guy rewrote the original scheduler doing 
basically the same thing that he had developed earlier and at that point 
he quit linux development.
