BS. During the early 2000s the discussion of complex scheduling like existed in Solaris came up again and again. There was general agreement that while Linux was fine for simple Linux servers and workstations that the lack of advanced features made it unsuitable to replace big box Unix. Linux induced a financial collapse in big box Unixes now it needs to replace their complexity and functionality.
What you say doesn't hang on a pitchfork.
If the big commercial unix versions (Solaris, AIX, HPUX, IRIX) failed due to their complexity, the solution for the winner, Linux, is not to increase complexity. It's because of the toolbox approach where you can always upgrade one component without touching others that Linux won. Going back to smit-like administration abstracted five ways from hell and with tentacles into everything and its godmother isn't going to make people flock to Linux.
Splitting sysv init into a couple of even simpler and lower level components might.
