Feature request was approved and "completed" pror to 9.0 release then they missed 9.0 I was told it was going to be in 9.1 but I don't see it in release notes
Question to those in the know (Sophos Devs): are the known issues (as last reported at the bottom of the CoDel wiki page here: codel - Wiki - Bufferbloat) accounted for / corrected? If not, is there a way to turn this on or off, or is it just compiled into the kernel?

Its off by default. If QOS is enabled for a particular interface,
the default kernel qdisc (pfifo_fast) is replaced with fq_codel qdisc.
If you have traffic classes enabled, the root qdisc is hfsc like in V8 and 9.0,
except that the leaf qdiscs (think "each bandwidth pool") has its own
fq_codel (v7.0 to v9.0 used sfq qdisc, 9.1 merely replaces sfq with fq_codel in this case). As for your question, we only use fq_codel (fair queueing variant) of codel.
If you find that some flows (e.g. interactive traffic) are badly impacted by bulk traffic, you can prevent it by moving one of those to its own pool, then they will
by treated separately (each has its own fq_codel, independently scheduled).
