actually sequence would be get();delete();put() whenever
"tc class del" is invoked (theres other activity that may happen here as
well instead of delete(), example attaching filters to class etc).
I think what you do with the delete+put combo is specific
to your needs though. So for example you could return 0
in get() and your put() code will never be invoked.

Alexey can give a better answer.
Typically put() is the backup for delete. Should delete fail
to destroy because of reference counts being non-zero, put will catch it.
CBQ is an easier scheduler to see this. For a fun one look at the ATM
scheduler.
