Description

State aware scheduling was a simple scheduling algorithm that provided a stop gap until gang scheduling was implemented. Gang scheduling and state aware do not work together. Gang scheduling is a more generic way of achieving almost the same behaviour.

State aware scheduling has a number of drawbacks and could be used as an attack vector to slow down overall scheduling performance.

We should deprecate it and remove in an upcoming release.
