On the other hand, it seems with shaping qdiscs they are more useful
to query dequeue rates.

Only for purely informational purposes, for policing you'd want to
use arrival rates. Since there are no users of estimators in the kernel
besides policers (which use seperate ones), the point is not terribly
important. But I would prefer to not start introducing (or extending)
inconsistencies among qdisc implementations here, that will only make
it harder in case someone finally implements something useful with
estimators.

I agree with Patrick %100
