I yet have to see a reasonable explanation why FIFO in the context of > time ordered would be a good thing. On context of tbs, the scheduled FIFO was developed just so consistency was kept between all 4 variants, basically (sw best-effort or hw offload vs sorting enabled or sorting disabled). I don't have any strong argument in favor of this mode at the moment, so I will just remove it on a next version - unless someone else brings up a valid use case for it, of course. Thanks for the feedback, Jesus
