The code that was disabled had a bug, a bug that brings many people into
problems.  In other words, the realtime-scheduling stuff is not finished, it
lacks the most important part of all; fool-proof security.

the feature should be removed.

Basically you agree, but I fear that the passionate replies point out that long

Just fix the hole and move along, please.
