But having said that, I can't see much reason why you would
need to have more than one scheduler implementation.

Multiple event loop implementations are necessary because
async I/O needs to be done different ways on different
platforms.

But the scheduler we're talking about is all pure Python.
If the interface is well known and universally used, and
there's a good implementation of it in the standard
library, why would anyone want another one?
