I must have misinterpreted the 'new flows' discussion on netdev. Are
these new flows in the sense of SYN/SYN-ACK, or new flows in the sense

Meaning that you don't want to hand priority to stuff that is intended
to stay in the background? How does the classification work you've
been doing interact with these latest QFQ tests?
