Well I can't vouch for every single qdisc in the tree.  However,
what I can say is that as long as they respect the rules I outlined
earlier with regards to holding the root qdisc lock when deleting
or using children, then they'll work as expected.

You're definitely welcome to audit the qdiscs to make sure that
they are obeying the rules.

Cheers,
