	But you still do not need to squash, I believe defaults to the besteffort 1tin setup, only if the user requests "squash diffserv4" or so she will get what she asked for ;). While I have not tested that, I believe that is how Kevin explained it, and this looks in line with cake’s (extended) rationale of making the defaults sane and efficient (and the crazy possible ;) not sure whether there is consensus yet on this extension…)
