(it's currently not even on the > http://www.freebsd.org/releases/5.4R/todo.html list) Assigning priorities and resources really is at the will of the developers. Very few are paid to do this work, and none are paid by the release engineering or core groups. The release engineers can put items on the todo list in hopes that it will inspire others to help. Specifically for ULE, since it is not the default scheduler, it will not be making the showstopper list for 5.4. If someone would like to step forward and work on ULE full time, that would be wonderful and I'd highly encourage it. Scott
