I want to make roundRobin actually start with a random offset and have a priority class that does what roundRobin does now. So I'll have to add that option to config.py. After that that's the features I want. Looks like porting to 1.0 (cvs HEAD) won't be overly hard. 8.0 is not in very heavy use at NCSU (its only a devel release) so I may just stick with the new feature in the 4_2 branch and use it to push 9 even harder. :-) My 7.3 kit is still in heavy use...but its using yup...which I'm not touching.
