Here we go again Thomas.. You think you can have a conversation without
the insults for once?

The very fact that you mention it in your release notes .. You mention
the type of system in "preempt-rt" and the advantage of your system..

The fact that a direct relationship exists means that any threaded
interrupt system needs to take into account the inevitable connection to
real time since it will be used in that system as a core component.. If
you can't effectively achieve real time with your system , than that's a
problem that needs to be addressed.
