Hi Benoit

Thank you for your comments. An updated version that addresses them as
laid out below is available here:
https://kau.toke.dk/ietf/draft-ietf-aqm-fq-codel-06.html (or .txt).

I've elected to keep this as per Barry's comment.

Yes, several people have pointed this out. I've changed this to read "to
enable deployment outside of the Linux ecosystem".
