And those being invisible can be overridden using 'tc qd add', right?
AFAIR they're not listed because they don't properly register, so the
system doesn't care to override them. In this case we could change all
classful qdiscs to restore the default qdisc if a leaf qdisc is being
deleted instead of noop (which is probably not what the user wants
anyway).
