It's worse than I thought. I just watched this explainer video from ExtremeNetworks: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=owBrkFk9afM

If I understand correctly, they want the AP to solve a hard (bin-packing) problem, in real-time, with unclear rules for maximizing client goals (should the VoIP packet go first?). And no mention of airtime fairness or latency...

Or am I missing something? Thanks.
