I don't follow the kernel discussions, but since scheduling algorithms always create winners and losers, you can imagine why there'd be resistance to change.

In the case of scheduling we have the bizarre situtation where we have pluggable IO schedulers for different workloads, but a blank refusal to allow the same for CPU scheduling.
