Not necessarily because of the extra amount of work but more the higher probability of getting into situation where we can neither push forward or back out. It's difficult to define clear deadline and there will likely be unforeseen challenges in the planned convergence of the two schedulers, eventually, it isn't too unlikely to be in a situation where we have to admit defeat and just keep both schedulers. Note that developer overhead isn't the only factor here. Providing two slightly different alternatives inevitably makes userland grow dependencies on subtleties of both and there's a lot less pressure to make judgement calls and take appropriate trade-offs, which have fairly high chance of deadlocking progress towards any direction.
