 > Dbryrtfbcbhgf: do you get these messages almost immediately when Tor
 starts or a few minutes/hours/++ later? My thinking is this: if it happens
 immediately, then that's a good argument for moving these messages into
 info as there may be plenty more relays that run on these rather old (but
 stable and bug fixed, right?) kernels. If it happens later, it isn't as
 good as an argument IMHO.

 they are using? What if they changed `Schedulers` in their torrc? What if
 their kernel suddenly stopped supporting a scheduler and they changed?

 scheduler their relay is using. Maybe these fallback messages are too
 error-looking though. And maybe if the user didn't set `Schedulers`, they
 really don't care and we shouldn't log anything. Do we tell users that
 they're using EWMA?

 if the user has set `Schedulers`, then to log it at notice.

  I get the log messages within a few minutes after I start Tor on the
 relay
