That's a pretty poor analogy IMNSHO. There are very good technical
reasons to have replication in the core. That is much less clear for a
scheduler. But in any case, I didn't say that we shouldn't have a
scheduler. I specifically said there might be a case for it - read the
first clause of my last sentence. What I said was that the reason given,
namely that Corporations didn't want to use add-on modules, was not a
good reason.
