I just had another thought (or possibly a repressed memory). Although in the sort term we'll see increased latency while both this and the current packet-based shaping is in effect, when this is fully rolled out, it would make sense for them to get rid of the current packet-based shaping systems. We may find that eliminating the latency introduced by the current shapers offsets, cancels out, or possibly even gives us a net gain in regards to latency. That would be nice.
