As someone who is currently trying (but not that hard) to get a diffserv5 
implementation in upstream as opposed to a local hack the aim being to have 2 
lower than default classes I have some opinion on this.  My use case is 
straightforward, I want somewhere to put ‘Least Effort’ traffic (eg Bittorrent) 
as a scavenger class that loses out to my Bulk transfers (backups)   At the 
other end of things I do want to prioritise Voice (VOIP) above Video 
(netflix/facetime) above ‘Best Effort’.  LE, BK, BE, VI, VO

The move from diffserv4 to diffserv5 WAS about de-prioritization.

Cheers,
