You meant RED is classful, not SFQ ?

Idea is to use RED on each flow, not on global SFQ, since as you pointed
out, you already can do that right now (and it has no interest)

You can have this right now using QFQ, and for each QFQ class, attach a
RED qdisc, but memory cost and setup time are crazy.

Please note that RED cant perform head mark or drop. (unless we add new
qdisc ops for this)
We can do it from SFQ because we do our proper queue management.
