Thanks. Was it supposed to change state? Because it's still "superseded".

Let's wait for a few more days before merging, anyway, just in case there
are any other comments from the more TSN-oriented folks. I'm still not
completely happy with the UAPI duplication in 2 qdiscs, and no indication
that the duplication would stop at 2. For example, if I understand tc-etf
correctly, it would be possible to see bands as traffic classes, and so,
talk about preemptible bands and end up adding UAPI for those too.
