Actually, I'd discourage making larger changes to either codebase
("simple" or "affine"). I mean, Real Life (tm) did rear its ugly head,
but I'm close to getting my game back and it would be a waste of
energy to have someone else work on the scheduler. But of course
competition is healthy and everything, and I'm not territorial about
it. It's just that there are plenty of areas needing the manpower, and
I'm already committed to the scheduler, have made a lot of research, a
lot of experiments, have attacked the problems from numerous
approaches, and so on.

Well, either "affine" is uncovering problems that don't manifest
themselves under "simple", or it has caused some of its own. Still,
when it does work, I like it better than "simple".
