Thanks for giving us the heads up.

Yeah, I understand your concern. Even when the current patch set is in,
I'm not claiming success. Just like how most of -rt is now in mainline.
It's not completely finished until the rest of -rt is there. I feel the
same with the dynamic tick patches. It will get in in stages. But it
truly isn't there until we have it  fully functional, that even you will
be pleased with the result ;-)
