should we consider making CoDel the default to combat bufferbloat?

I don't think that will help much for typical Fedora use. I think you 
need to be controlling the bottleneck for that to help much. And I doubt 
Fedora is being used as a gateway router very often. I think using byte 
queue limits is supposed to be more helpful for end nodes. (Though you 
could do both.)

I bought a couple of refurbished wndr3800s a month ago for my birthday 
to replace my home router (and to have a backup) using cerowrt. The default 
config doesn't fit my service (it assumes normal residential service) so I 
need to do some significant changes to how they assign IP addresses to 
interfaces and haven't gotten around to it yet, but am planning to work 
on it this weekend. I'm hoping ssh will work better while I am updating 
my local Fedora mirror or when my wife is using netflix.
