Oh, you mean Utopic's kubuntu-default-settings already has that rule?
I understood it like we changed the kernel default scheduler in
utopic. #1378789 does not explain the fix in utopic, nor does it have
a package upload that closes the bug. I suppose this is a case where
the SRU is being done on a fresh "synthetic" bug instead of the real
bug report, and so it doesn't have all the relevant information.

Anyway, now is not the time to change utopic's kernel default.

*nod* thanks

Oh, that's not how I understood it. I interpreted "proceed with the
SRU" as "land it in -proposed now instead of well after Utopic's
release", which I fully agree with. Of course verifying the changes
will take quite some time as finding enough people with different
SSD/HDD hardware and getting them to do the measurements will just not
be done in a week.

But then again I see no rush. 14.04 has been out for 6 months, and
everyone who uses it either has learned to get along with the
sluggishness or disabled balloo, or uses something else. So taking a
few weeks in -proposed to be sure about the impact of this seems
adequate. I wouldn't tie it to any results in Utopic, as utopic has a
different kernel, different software versions etc., so the numbers
aren't directly comparable anyway.
