Subject: [Question] What's the noop_qdisc introduced for in the kernel?

After google and the code reading, seems this Qdisc instance is only
used for the initialization purpose, I can't find the reason that this
object introduced in the kernel. Does anybody know what the historical
reason is for this invention? the purpose or the benefit for this
Qdisc object?
