Kernel should do the right thing by default, I agree with Linus W.
Having reasonable defaults is useful; yes, my desktop has udev etc, but I still want reasonable scheduler when doing fsck in init=/bin/bash.
Plus, I update kernels more often than distros, and I run various embedded stuff.
Kernel should just provide reasonable defaults.
And yes, we have "ionice" command and yes, it would be nice if it worked by default...
