All due respect to Zane who created the scheduler. We simply could not do what we do without it (and I think one of the first things I asked for was parallel create ;).
IMO it is the single most confusing thing in Heat whenever one has to deal with it. If we could stick to a threading model instead, I would much prefer that.
