Neither do I, but in this case at least ping isn't getting an unfair
advantage over other latency sensitive traffic. Measurements based on ping
therefore correctly show a big improvement over doing nothing.

Fq_codel also naturally promotes pings and acks in the same basic way, and
I'm similarly happy with that, because it's a natural result of a genuine
improvement. The way it works also means that it's not a strict priority,
so it goes away as soon as someone tries to game it.
