OK, I watched a bit of that. Lot of handwaving.

Prior to that I fast forwarded past BB's l4s thing and looked a little
at PSS, which essentially looked like it was doing FQ between dscp
marks....

I think the ietf should just rename itself to being DCTF (the data
center task force) and let some other org arise to take care of the
internet.

FIFO queues remain cheap.

I keep hitting reload hoping the video to the talk was up.
