We've got something better than we've had before, even though it doesn't
go as far as making true realtime processing available to normal users.

Indeed.  But maybe true (bounded CPU) realtime, reliable, would more
accurately reflect what the user actually wants for some apps?

No doubt about it.  Other OSes have it:

Hopefully in the next cycle, we will too.

I like your idea of allowing normal users to set SCHED_RR, but automatically 
placing some bound on cpu usage.  It's guaranteed not to break any existing 
programs.
