Hi Joerg,

This change looks interesting, but the patch flow has increased like
crazy these last couple of weeks.  I think it's a good idea to make
a release before we even consider making large/dangerous changes to
essential parts like the scheduler.  There's only one remaining open
ticket for a release right now, which is fixing compiler warnings.

But maybe we can do without that fix, as it can potentially break eggs.

The master branch is currently in a state that's acceptable for a new
release, I think.

Cheers,
Peter
