Are you sure this is true? My (admittedly fuzzy) memory tells me that
un-queued traffic effectively reduces the size of the pipe for the
queued traffic. This of, of course, has undesirable results on
min-rates, but isn't as severe as dropping traffic altogether. If we
don't drop unqueued traffic, does forcibly installing a default queue
still make sense? The cost of a misconfiguration is significantly
lower in this case. I'm curious what your thoughts are. I dont' feel
particularly strongly.
I haven't read the patch yet
