rt users must be trustable with root access, at least in terms of cpu
governance, which is what rtlimits achivev just fine.
What is so difficult to understand that rtkit is not intended to be a
solution for hardcore rt users?
rtkit is not for you!
Let me repeat this:
RTKIT IS NOT FOR YOU!
rtkit is a just missing piece of the puzzle that allows distros to
enable RT by default for their desktop users.
And rtkit doesn't break RLIMIT_PRIO, it isn't even activated when that
is set.
Let me repeat this, too:
RTKIT DOESN'T BREAK RLIMIT_RTPRIO!
It was clearly a bad idea to post about rtkit on lad. It is a big
waste of time fighting this through against all those desktop-haters,
fdo-haters, dbus-haters, who apparently believe I am out to take away
their freedom to run their systems the way want. I really don't need
this shit. The amount of constructive criticism in this thread is next
to zero, nobody even bothers to read the README before just fudding
around.
