Yes. Bruce always does a much better job of describing things than
me, so I usually defer to him respond first.

If it's so straight forward, then please send a patch. Please make
sure the scheduler doesn't get into an infinite loop or take an
inordinately long time when exhaustively trying every combination of
program and tuner.
FWIW, when I was reworking the scheduler, I quickly came to the
realization that there was no "best" way to do it, because everyone
has their own definition of best. Consequently, I aimed for an
approach that was determinstic, did a pretty good job in most cases
and provided a way to tweak things manually when needed. I think I
succeeded. However, if you have very specific ideas on how to improve
the current scheduler, I'm all ears.
