Hi!

> I was wondering, why is ALTQ not compiled in GENERIC?

ALTQ was imported from OpenBSD, and OpenBSD decided
to remove ALTQ a while ago. So FreeBSD plans to
drop ALTQ, too. 

http://bsdly.blogspot.de/2011/07/anticipating-post-altq-world.html

with some update in 2015 explains a bit.

Then there's

https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=208409

which has some details -- if you ask around, maybe the
people from that PR can explain more about it.
