From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I was quite surprised that they introduced a new scheduler and replaced CFS with it in the same step. I would have expected it to become available, then default, then replace CFS. But I guess this should be interpreted as indicating they have tested it extensively already, with very low chance of significant regressions.
