Why are they telling you this and not us? Of course this may be people
that have different requirements.

Need a few microsecond latencies; Try Xenomai.
Need a few hundred microsecond latencies; PREEMPT_RT will do
Need no interference from the kernel; Use NO_HZ_FULL

Look, there's obviously users of PREEMPT_RT, so why are you trying to
kill it? If anything, PREEMPT_RT has made the mainline kernel cleaner.

Just because you don't see a use for it, doesn't mean one does not
exist.
