Hi,
I don't really think this is OT, albeit not directly Debian related.
Con Kolivas, the kernel hacker who authored a better scheduler,
recently decided to quit.
Loss for Linux (and Linus)
Here's his reasoning.

It'd be nice if a coder of Con's caliber were to get interested in the
HURD. I think that project has a lot of potential, but I'm afeared it
has little future without some motivated developers.
Con is a terrific kernel hacker (judged from the results). What got him
was the kernel decision making process, if you call it that.
His quitting isn't going to fix that.
If anything fixes it at all it is sticking with it: people with his kind
of ability are sorely needed, as you note...
