Nothing so grand. As in all things software, simpler/smaller/faster is better (usually in that order). There are TOO many voices to interfere.

I was thinking along the same line. However, my end goal would be to
build a case for Android to consider shipping fq_codel instead of
fifo_fast for android one. Instead of keeping the patches out of
android one tree, at least we could try to make them accept it.

My experience has been that you FIRST make a proof of concept. Get it working, write the instructions, make it baby proof to code merge, etc. THEN, you try to convince them to accept it.

Franco kernel or any other custom kernel follows the official Android git. We need to get it out there so that it gets attention. David Taht et al have been working for YEARS on getting people to notice something that has PHYSICAL verifiable proof = facts. It's a technical/political/financial/faith/crazy issue. No intention to offend anyone.

I think that if I could get some kind of BQL/DQL into the mediatek
driver, and convince the mediatek folks to take the patch by showing
them the benefits, we could get a long way towards seeing an upcoming
release of android with support for this.

The nice thing is that it appears that the mediatek driver on the
android repository is complete.

I am all for it. Keep us posted. :) A lot of folks here have experience on getting GOOD/NECESSARY/PROVED things going when everyone else disagrees. Reach out. We can all benefit from it.
