Question: No cache/hash support for qdisc and class

Hi all, first time posting.

Back in Nov 2012, Roopa Prabhu submitted patches to "Add hash support to libnl caches" and "adds keygen functions to link, neigh and route objects".  

Is there any reason why this was not ( or should not be ) extended to qdisc and class objects?

I'm dealing with a tc model that has thousands of qdiscs and nl_cache_refill is taking 10+ seconds.  I've implemented my own keygen rountine for qdisc that drops that down to under 1 second, but I'm just curious why this functionality does not already exist.
