To my mind scheduling and load balancing are orthogonal and keeping them that way simplifies things.

Scuse me if I jump in here, but doesn't the load balancer need some way to figure out a) when to run, and b) which tasks to pull and where to push them?

I suppose you could abstract this into a per-scheduler API, but to me at least these are the hard parts of the load balancer...
