I'm aware of it and that's not the problem. The problem is that if the
user requests the filters attached to parent XX: he can't tell whether
the qdisc or class parent is meant without checking for hardcoded
qdisc kinds which makes it pretty much impossible to generate
qdisc/class/filter trees in a generic way. It's just something anoying
not a bug.
