scheduler parameter inheritance on clone()

The pthreads standard specifies that the default behaviour is that new threads should be created with the SCHED_OTHER policy and a priority of 0.

However, it appears that the kernel will create new tasks (be they threads or processes) with the same settings as the parent.

If CLONE_THREAD is set, should the kernel perhaps set the policy and priority as specified by pthreads?
