I'd like to take shaper (I spent a couple of months at work working on
traffic shaping [1]), but I'm still waiting for my application manager
to write up my application and send it to the DAM. Would anyone like to
sponsor me in the meantime? If so, I'll file an ITA.

[1] Linux 2.2 has a more flexible way of handling it, but the userspace
    tools are much more difficult to use.
