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.
