Almost, there is one new occurrence with the same issue, see below.

By the way, like for "types" and "level" fields, a zero value in "queue_num"
could be interpreted as default in order to target all configured queues,
for the convenience of applications that do not care.

This is not explicitly documented so it's just a recommendation though.
