I'm uncomfortable with us heading off into descriptions of how
the data structures are built to instantiate the queues. How
about just using "FIFO" as a description of how the queue behaves
from the perspective of scheduling, then use functional descriptions
of how the discard might operate. The fact that a push-out discard
process might imply non-FIFO data structures is, to me, too much
detail.
