You are correct in that it doesn't cause any additional blocking, but it 
does break the way that the prio qdisc is supposed to work.  I figure it 
is best to keep all the qdiscs behaving the way they are supposed to 
without my qdisc changing their behavior by acting as a leaf.

Thanks for all the useful input.
