It *can* work, as long as the cores hold the all-important +W. I'm
sure that having your +1 on a scheduler-related patch now makes cores
feel more confident that the change is correct for the scheduler, so
making your vote a +2 would streamline the process. But as you
correctly point out, they have a deeper knowledge of the entire
project, and need to validate that the change won't adversely affect
other parts, so holding the +W for cores would minimize the chance of
adding to tech debt.
