In what forum was that general agreement reached ?

After 24 years on the market, VMS has rather extensive hooks for coding
such schedulers, but it took many years to get to that point.  There are
many IO-related OS primitive measurements needed to achieve fairness.

I presume you intended that the schedulers be adequate to meet needs
rather than merely being flexible.  I can make a scheduler much more
flexible by adding an larger color palatte from which to enhance the
logo it displays on a screen.
