OTOH some qdiscs (CBQ, DRR, DSMARK, HFSC, HTB, QFQ) assign the default
one upon deletion instead of noop_qdisc, hence I would describe
the situation using the words 'inconsistent' and 'accident' rather than
'expected'. :)

Anyhow, the problem with skilled admins is they accept quirks too easily
and just build their scripts around them - the same scripts we have to
keep compatible to then.

Cheers, Phil
