I never said it would. I said that the SDN movement might give 
standardized APIs into what the forwarding hardware does, including 
packet treatment such as queuing behaviour. It might also mean that if 
someone implemented a certain queuing behaviour and this ended up defined 
by the API description, more vendors might implement the same thing.
