Let me try to rephrase it:

If you think an open source project does something wrong you have the
right to fork it and offer an (in your opinion) better version.

This is the right you have.

But if you think open source gives you any legal or moral right to
demand any featurs or choices or whatever from developers you are
completely mistaken.

The question how many I/O schedulers we need is anyway in no direction
related to my patch.
