[TUHS] PID 0 and the scheduler

All,

There's an interesting dive into PID 0 linked to from osnews:

https://blog.dave.tf/post/linux-pid0/

In the article, the author delves into the history of the scheduler a 
bit - going back to Unix v4 (his assembly language skills don't go to 
PDP variants).

I like the article for two reasons - 1) it's clarity 2) it points out 
the self-reinforcing nature of our search ecosystem.

I'm left with the question - how did scheduling work in v0-v4? and the 
observation that search really sucks these days.

Later,

Will
