You're not ignoring it, you're practically waging the war against it, effectively trying to make life more miserable for the desktop users (yes, like me for example). Why? The existence of rtkit doesn't make it harder for you to assign RT privileges to every process on the machine. However, it makes it possible to prevent rogue processes from obtaining/abusing the RT scheduling while letting user-approved processes to still use it. In some contexts, asking the users to give up every single application a dangerous permission just to let them run your application, is a bad idea (it makes any other application in the system capable of locking up the PC without the chance of preventing it). Okay, it uses a commonly available message passing infrastructure (D-Bus) instead of reinventing the wheel. So what? Is one way of sending messages to other processes somehow bad because it's an Evil Baby-Eating D-Bus? POSIX is Good, FreeDesktop is Evil, since when? What's the reasoning behind THAT?
