Given that the paper Antoniu referenced speaks about it
being the testbed for the paper, I guess so. I think they
implement untied tasks using some library they wrote,
but all I did was download it and skim it for a couple of minutes.
Anyway, I think more important is the first goal, improve scheduling
of tied tasks, those are the default ones and probably most people
will use just those. Only when you are done with that it would be IMHO a
good idea to move to untied stuff.
