You are looking in the wrong place - the issue is not about schedulers, it's about management ignoring controls advice and/or preferring not to have any. Who wants a job where you have little impact - for most people controls is a step towards a more interesting management position.
It is a 'chicken and egg' problem but the solution has to come from the top. One symptom is professional credentials - out of the roughly 6000 people who earned their PMI-SP or PSP credentials in the last 10 years probably 30% have a qualification to allow them to act as an expert in court. The others are interests in controls - no one is seeking qualification because they need one to get a job.
If qualified and skilled project controllers were really valued by senior management there would be plenty of people seeking employment in the discipline - at the moment most people see controls as a software operator function with no real input to the management of the work, see: http://www.mosaicprojects.com.au/Mag_Articles/P018_The_problem_with_CPM.pdf

Sorry Mike. Don't know what happened with the post. This all just seems a little clunky to me.
