Because I do not think 2.4 should be a breeding ground for every new
feature that wets someone's appetite. It should be stable and trusted
before anything else. We also have to worry about architecture
support. Let the scheduler be 2.5's thing.

I do not think preemption should go in 2.4, either. It too is a 2.5
thing.
