I think in general just creating something that works well is a good
idea, regardless of what buzzwords it has or not. But it seems the
fair schedulers have worked well for Linux so it probably doesn't hurt
to try that too. But it might be smart to try that later after other
approaches have proved less than ideal.
I suppose it could be summarized that trying to create a perfectly
fair scheduler to start off with is a bit like premature optimization.
