Well some people, especially real time, want no disturbance at all because
their workload really depends on that.

Some other (HPC) don't care about little disturbance.

Although HPC users didn't declare themselves yet, the real time case
expect some more sacrifices (see nohz tasks patchset).

One task is common to all usecases anyway.
