The problem is not in coming up with an idea for scheduling, it is in
finding someone who is willing to work on it and stick with it.

When thinking about how scheduling should work it quickly pulls in many
many other things that ideal scheduling functionality requires, such as
split tasks. The bigger the ideas and requirements get, the more
motivation you need to actually take on the problem of implementation.

Additionally it is harder to motivate someone to implement other
people's requirements than it is to get them to implement their own.

In my opinion discussing requirements like this will go nowhere unless
the one starting the discussion is the one who plans to implement it.
Look through bugzilla for this feature, you'll see what I mean.

Maurice.
