I somewhat agree with you but this "properly described" are all the bug
reports on lkml containing "bad interactivity in 2.5, cpu starving in 2.5"
and such...
This isn't a shenanigan, at least not for the interactivity for a desktop.
This is a workaround for users who are complaining about bad interactivity in
2.5!
ciao, Marc
