Yeah, that make sense, just wondering... since RT also has balance
stuff, may be we can use a new call back for each class in the old position?
The new idle_balance could like:
void idle_balance() {
for_each_class(class)
if class->idle_balance()
break
}

Great, it once appeared in my mind but you achieved this without new
parameter, now let's ignore my wondering above :)
