Yes, what you've done with cbq is great. What I was referring to,
though, is the user configurability of network frame queueing. It's
possible to do really complex things for very specialized needs, yet
also easy to put in a simple tweak if there's just one type of traffic
you need to prioritize. It'd be nice to have that kind of
configurability for unusual i/o loads, and the arbitrary queue stacking
is a whole different beast than having a couple of tunables to tweak.
