The Last Patch 2.6.22-ck1
Kernel patch developed by Con Kolivas (CK) for 2.6.22 has been released. This is the last -ck patch ever. We planned to use this patchset in Kuliax 7.0 to improve the responsiveness and interactivity, like we did in our first 6.0 release. Why CK discontinued this project? quoted from ck.wikia.com, CK stated the following reasons:
- If whatever performance advantage it has is all but abolished compared to mainline then there is no point maintaining alternate patches to achieve the same endpoint.
- All interest I have in kernel development, even out of the mainline spotlight, has been… abolished (I had nastier words but decided not to use them.) It is clear that I cannot develop code for the linux kernel intended only to be used out of mainline and not have mainline get involved somewhere along the line. Whether it be the users or even other developers repeatedly asking “when will this be merged”. This forever gets me into a cycle of actually trying to merge the stuff and … well you all know what happens at that point (again I had nastier words but decided not to use them.) So, I’ve had enough. I’m out of here forever. I want to leave before I get so disgruntled that I end up using windows.”
We feel sorry for discontinuance of ck -patchset. Yes, there are more things to explain dealt with conflict of interest in the mainline kernel, specifically the scheduler. You should read and search for yourself 
FYI, Completely Fair Scheduler (CFS), the scheduler “similar” to CK’s will available in the kernel 2.6.23 release.
