OK.
So what are the plans in the future?
Keep a "generic" codel.h (compatibility reasons?) for net or is it your split?

AFAICS I have seen a codel-implementation in block.git#wb-buf-throttle.
Does it make sense to have a more "super-generic" codel.h for re-use
(not only for net and block)?
Just a thought.
