No, the default kernel scheduler is not changed in utopic. Even if this were an acceptable change to make across all desktop environments, there's pretty clear evidence that it would regress a variety of server workloads. > > As the Kubuntu team's request specifically concerns asking the TB to > > expedite the SRU for this > Oh, that's not how I understood it.

Numbers wouldn't be directly comparable, but any complaints from users of 14.10 about their Kubuntu desktop performing poorly as a result of this change should be examined carefully as part of the SRU process. Maybe there will be no such complaints, and that's fine. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
