Oh, are we now talking about including a scheduler in core or contrib?

My understanding was that the background worker infrastructure had been
made in parts so that we don't even have to talk about a scheduler specs
and implementation details on -hackers, where the usual answer is that
we already have a system's scheduler anyways.
