do we consider cake ready this time?

I'm not aware of anything outstanding, at least...

Do I have the release cycle right that it would have to be upstreamed by “about 10 weeks” from now and would end up in 4.18 (https://www.kernel.org/doc/Documentation/networking/netdev-FAQ.txt)?

I remember that fairness behavior at low RTTs (< 20ms) needed to be either improved or documented, and don’t see anything about that in the man page in the tc-adv repo thus far. Summarizing the host isolation results at http://www.drhleny.cz/bufferbloat/cake/round2/#hostiso_cake_{rtt}_{qos-id}:

RTT: fairness (1.0 == perfect fairness)

100us: 2.22

2ms: 1.6
