What I tried to express in the last paragraph of the referenced mail
was that it's not pf that's lacking anything, but altq. There simply
are no input queues with altq. If you added those queues to altq, you
might not even have to change a single line in pf to get them used.
Stock altq could put token buckets on input interfaces for rate
limiting purposes, referred to as the "traffic conditioner" (CDNR).
That capability was removed when the classifier was merged with pf.
