Yes, I plan to finally switch the default for ARM shortly after x86. PreRA scheduling will switch from using the SD scheduler to the MI scheduler. This is currently preventing replacement of the SD scheduler with a fast SD->MI path. Note that individual subtargets can easily change their preferred scheduler if needed. Also, the behavior of the scheduler depends heavily on the subtarget's machine model.

I would also like to replace the current postRA scheduler with MI scheduler before 3.4. But that isn't quite as urgent.
